Oh, the rains came down and the floods came up...

While Catherine was here, we took a walk to the river...
... and found it in interesting places, like the boat house (which is used to being flooded, but not to this extent. This time it looks like structural damage has been done.) Water is flowing over the highway from Island Park to the frisbee golf course (which is now a scuba diving event).
In two weeks, this is supposed to be where the Dixieland Jazz festival takes place, well, not in the out house, but in the surrounding area. This is where all the vendors set up--with grilled turkey legs , gyros, and funnel cakes.
A fully-loaded train is parked on the bridge to provide stability. And so far it has worked.
They sandbagged around the ice house museum up to the normal point. Not high enough.
