Thread: flash floods

with all the rain we got here in illinois over the past week, decided to take some pictures and videos of the damage. this is on the spoon river located on the county line of peoria and stark county. every road was submerged atleast 2-3 feet.

the river from the bridge. waters normally 15 feet below the bridge.


here's the levy that holds the river back from the cornfields. not so much anymore.


here i am in the waterfall. yay.


and the video quality blows. thank you samsung rogue.

Oh crap, I feel for you guys... This is getting ridiculous!.

what i would give for a Raised truck for this...

Holy flashback!!! I havent thought about that game since...... elementary school.

In that 1st pic.... are you on the bridge? Or is the bridge submerged? Either way, that sucks!

flooding is no joke we get bad flooding every 4-6 years and every ones always suprised they even built 300 homes where the worst flooding usually is I just laughed the whole time i worked for them will be sad when it floods out

yeah about 2 years ago, my g/f goes to wabash valley college atteh indiana border, and i got to a section of highway 64 where it was nothing but floods on both sides of the road. it looked like i was driving through an ocean, the water had completely covered ALL of the fields as far as you could see

with nothing but rain for the last 2 weeks and counting, its gonna be just like that or worse
