For all of my flooding pictures and more commentary please see my Flickr page
3/22 2pm The river crested at 37.8 feet just about noon today. The record is 39.7 feet.
3/22 12pm They have closed the 141 bridge over the Meramac, police are there turning people away. So I can't get my bridge shot today to add to my timeline :(
3/21 10pm NOAA has lowered the crest prediction to 39.5 feet sometime late Saturday/early Sunday.
3/21 3pm I went around the south on the way home from work to get some shots of the 141/44 intersection, I have to say I was stunned at the amount of water in the intersection, even though I've been watching this flood for days. Water has hit the RR bridge.
3/21 1pm There is "seepage" through the levee in VP according to the army corps of engineers but they say its still sound. Hopefully these are not the same guys that said the NO levee would hold. I don't think the water will over top the levee but I really hope it doesn't breech it.
3/21 8am Tried to go down to the Levee this morning on the way to work but it was blocked off, water was just under the RR bridge. 141 is closed just south of Marshall Road.
3/20 11am Had to leave work early as I was not feeling well, went to get my flood photos on the way home, decided to park and climb up the levee. Got muddy but got some good pics.
3/20 8am Tried to go down to Buder Park, its completely flooded, and closed of course. Sump hole waters are going down.
3/19 6pm Waters are rising but nothing crazy yet. Rain stopped this afternoon.
3/18 (all evening) Sump hole in the basement was full when we got home from work, started pumping it out, it filled back up as soon as we emptied it. Did this a few times, watched it all night , seems to be stable. Still Raining.
3/17 its raining. a lot.
