The Flood of 2008


More pictures will be posted later this week as the waters will crest Monday, but I had to post this one of city park. It shows the shakespeare festival stage barely holding out against the rising tide. The waters topped the spillway last night- we will go visit the lake tonight to see it.

Water covering Dubuque and its not over yet! Tell Mommie and Daddy to be careful driving over the bridges to get to the hospital. I hope the nice trees in the park are not seriously ruined.

Love, gran

In 1993 Uncle Mike, Michael, Emily, Nanny Jenny and I lived in Minnesota and witnessed first hand the flood waters in the Red River Valley and the rising waters levels of the Mississippi and the Minnesota Rivers. It is a sight that one never forgets. Stay safe!
We Love YOU!
