Ahhh. Downtown BD. Those poor people....!! You can see they are trying to sand bag. I thought about helping and then I thought about what a big baby whimp I am and probably whouldn't be able to toss 50 lb bags of sand around...bummer...I wanted to help.... |
Most of the following pix are right down town BD -- different views of the river.... |

Here's a good look at some of the buildings that are now slated for demolition...supposedly...(I believe it -- they look even worse now that the water has receded. I'll try to get more pix later...) |

The actually tried to pump out the river into the parking lot behind the buildings. That strategy didn't work. |
Amazingly the dam held but water was rushing over it.
Anyway, we are all fine. Luckily we are on a hill so we were OK. Was tough to get to work -- actually couldn't for a couple of days. I heard Columbus was worse and that there was a waiting list to rent cars from the people in BD.

Notice the erosion along the shoreline. Jeffy, this is by the Shoefactory.
