Before and after the flood

Walkway, before


Walkway, after


Waterfall, before


Waterfall, after



The "before" pictures were taken during our wedding rehearsal, which took place at Warren Woods. The walkway is now pretty much underwater (the river has risen since these flood pictures were taken) and the waterfall is gone. In its place is a solid sheet of rushing river water.

I'm sorry to see all the flood damage that has happened in your community! Nature can be so powerful. I hope it dries up soon..

Me too. No more rain today, so I'm happy. Hopefully the flood waters will recede quickly. I think on Wednesday the river is supposed to crest....

oh, my gosh! i just now saw this (i'm on my lunch break.)

i was talking to one of my friends in Wheaton last night. she said they could not leave their apartment all weekend because of the flooding.

you guys sure got hit really hard down there! and i think of the people in Texas, too! it just seems like there is more an more flooding all over, even without hurricanes. i remember the flooding in the spring in Iowa and Wisconsin!

well, thank God the rain has stopped!
