Out our front window... handy boat ramp. The street looked like a wing-dam
Some of those 'plastic bags' that Tania wrote about. They didn't exactly hold back the water! This goes up Frank Street past our house.
Notice anything missing fron TruGas?
They weren't scary until the water went down and broke off the valves.
Easy enough to gas up your boat...
Kudos to these guys. Off they went in current a regular boat couldn't even go into to pull people off of their roofs in Sunny acres.
No playing in the park. The irony is they just put in fresh woodchips last week. Bet they aren't there any more.
It would be fun if there wasn't so much gardia in the water.
This is... or rather WAS a bridge between stockton and the back side of our hill. We are standing on the Leon A Bronk forest... the gentlemen on the other side is stuck between the stockton tracks and the stocton creek. We got here by coming over the bluff with the ATV.
Stocton Creek to the left of the bridge.
Lowe left hand corner of this picture is the heigth the water reached presumably when the bridge was washed out...
Stronger than the I35 Bridge... and a hundred years older.
Right of the bridge. Notice the cutbank... which Brent didn't notice when he came down here. We guessed that the water came up 12 to 14 feet above where the level of the water usually is.
Brent, you are lucky that didn't break.
Make good time on the river today I bet.
Although the water upstream is at ground level, the park two blocks down has actualy gone up. This park is brand new! DAMN
Water no longer has anywhere to go. Lake Lacane is holding the water. HW 61 is now open, but the water in the lake is still coming up. Cedar bay, and lake village is desemated.
Ever walked into cold water and sucked it up ... and walked on your tip toes? I bet this is how they were feeling.
Water almost up to 61 at the lake.
End Day 2, Winona Homes still has water up to their homes.
Modular? As long as it has water access.
The source of the problem. Up by Owl Road.
Old Owl Road?
Ogren's new Rock Garden.
This was a dry creek bed, about 5 feed wide. Opened up a spring.
Behind Minnesota City.
This flood took a path 300 feed wide and 25 feet deep.
Zoomed Out. I cannot imagine the water being at my feet.
The old garvin book used to go through that crazy cemember bunker in the middle of this picture. The telephone pole was on a knoll in front of where I took this picture. This begs the question of where all of the silt now resides. The Army Corp or Engineers probably has some dredging to do.
