Spring Flood of 2009

The other day, we finally were able to see the river for ourselves! For many weeks, most of the bridges here were closed due to flooding. They finally opened the bridge near our house, so we thought we would venture out to see. We couldn't believe the amount of land that was submerged in water! What a swollen river, and to think that these pictures were taken when the water has receded a lot! I can't imagine what this area looked like when it was much deeper!

This little marker is there to show how deep previous floods have gotten in this area. Notice all the trees in the water! This marker is normally not even close to being in the water....it's something that is supposed to be way off shore!




This area is where I used to go run in the summer mornings! Can you see the stairs and railings peeking up from the water!??
