I was up there last week sandbagging and keeping my aunt, uncle and two cousins company. For a couple days, I was trapped by high water and a contingency dike on the road in their development. I'll keep adding more, but it takes a while to upload them.
Here's looking down the road away from their house, maybe a block or so away from their driveway.
Here's 180 degrees from that pic, looking toward the end of the culdesac where they are.
Here's their house from the street. Water all around them. Behind the house, it's about 150-200 yards to the river when it's in it's banks.
The National Guard stopped by for a beer and some pizza. Well, not really. They went to every house in flood zones getting people out that were stuck or stranded, or just bringing supplies if people needed them.
And here's the day I left, this last monday. This road was closed the day before. Higher water and wee icebergs made it pretty much impassable, but the icebergs were pretty much gone monday, so I made like oregon trail and drove my ford through the river.
Like I said, I have a bunch more, but slow internets, so some will show up later. Enjoy!
