Hometown Flooding

For the past 3-5 days, we have had flooding, tornadoes, high winds, rain, hail, severe thunderstorms and generally "yucky" weather.

My home town was hit pretty hard - the worst I've ever seen.

Jake, Hannah and I went to town tonight at midnight to look around. Yes, we are that busy - this was the only time we could find to go and check things out. Amanda has exams this week and also select soccer tryouts. She was getting some rest ......

Help me out here family.....I think the name of this street is Oakton Ave. The old Sentry was on the right and Heinzelman's is strait ahead. The bank is around the curve on the left.
This is Wisconsin Avenue going west across the lakefront - except the lake is in the street now.

The beach is on the left. I am standing where the old Shore's Lounge was.
The five points looking east. The former Lake Pharmacy (where I had my first job) is straight ahead. Koepp Realty and the bank are on the right.
Wisconsin Avenue looking east again. The beach is to the right.
Jake, Hannah and debris from a boat - found floating down the street.
There were lots of fish swimming down the road also! What was the old Rexall Pharmacy and Alton's grocery are behind them.

Wisconsin Avenue looking west again - beach to the left.
Same shot further down - the old Hansen Oil on the right.
Hansen Oil again and a last look going east.

I might try to get to town for a couple of photos in daylight .......

Aunt Lynne told me that the river behind her home is really high also.
