Quad Cities June 2008 Flood


<-----This picture here, is an ariel view that was in the newspaper.

I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the Mid West being flooded and that's where I'm at! I live in the northwest part of Illinois called the Quad Cities. It's right on the Iowa/Illinois border. Today I drove over to Davenport, the Iowa side, and walked up Centennial Bridge and got some amazing pictures!! The river crest yesterday at 21.5 feet and very slowly going down today. It's the 5th highest in history for our area. This is the second flood this year. We had one a couple of months ago in April which got up to, I think 16 feet.

I made a slideshow of the pictures I took today if you want to take a look. Click on the link below. Enjoy the show!
