How Bad The Flood Is Around Here Pt 2

I finally finished the investigating around town just in time to pick Drew up from work. I went down a road by Spring Street that I was not suppose to go down. I am glad I did go down there because the water was just about to the street. I will show you in a picture what I am talking about.

This is Root River South of Spring Street. 

Parking lot at the park by Spring Street.

This is Root River North of Spring Street the road I was not suppose to by on. 

Trout Pond on 4 Mile Road. 

This is the Root River by Northwestern Ave. 

This is the Root River by Northwestern Ave. 

This is the Fox River in Waterford on the way to pick my daughter up from college Friday. 

Why not I hope the pictures help you out knowing that the water has not come over the sides of the river. When I went out the second time Harley was in the car with me. She decided to sneak out the door when I opened it and ran up the stairs. 

I hope everyone enjoys the pictures I had fun going around town taking them to share with everyone.

Thank you for the pics, THB. We should be grateful that it wasn't worse.

The first picture is just across the river from my parents.. I was glad to see it was not worse.. Like I've said before we've watched that river run it's banks many, many times without really worrying but since the flood 5 years ago we start to worry very easily..

Why Not? - I am glad that I took a picture close to your parents house. I am also glad this helped you to know how the water level was.

My grandmother used to live on Chicago St. at the bottom of the hill from McKinley.
Those pictures are very familiar. Plus we used to play softball down there at Lincoln Park.
Glad your parents are doing okay Why Not.
