The Flood of 2013

The Wabash River peaked at 25.5 feet, the highest it's been since 1958. Sunday evening Craig went down by the levee and North River Road and took some pictures.
 The John Meyer's Pedestrian Bridge as viewed from the bank. That water is high!
 It looks like something is caught against the bridge piling - look at the water swell and roll up.
 The South Street/26 Bridge (top white bridge) and the railroad bridge (the lower black bridge.) I would not want to ride a train across that bridge right now!
North River Road where Catherwood comes to a T at it. Looking south.

The water stranded my mother early Friday morning, and she just today, four days later, had the water recede enough to uncover the road so she could get out and about again.
