More Flood Pics





The sun is out, the day has been warm, and the waters have receded a couple of feet. But just like yesterday, the roads in and out of town are clogged with traffic...gawkers and Lookie-Lou's from our town, and from other towns, cameras in hand, on a sight-seeing tour. We were among them.




Unlike yesterday, some barricades have been set aside to allow folks into the city park for a better view of the churning river water that still floods pavilions and playground equipment. We are amazed by this awesome force of nature. It is, literally, the biggest show in town.





In the photos above, muddy waters tumult over the submerged dam; a sign warns of a road underwater; a yield sign tilts comically in water; a playground jumping horse looks eerily like the Loch Ness Monster; and a bait shop...a fisherman could buy bait and then fish right off the porch.
