Floods

After months of cool temperatures, yesterdays heat melted 3 to 4 inches of snow pack every hour. Last night rivers and creeks filled past flood levels and many homes, apartments and businesses started flooding overnight. Lois called me this morning and told me that some parts of the city were six feet under water. I imagine Tanner park was a big mess today.


This street was a few blocks away from the big deluge. The water here should be running through a culvert under the road where those concrete walls are. I am guessing that the water level here is normally only a few feet high. 
It is likely that tonight will be the same as last night.
