This caught my eye last night. After many "Flood Warnings" this "A Real Flood Warning"
Came over the phone.

I thought it was a joke until this morning...

Image
A heron at the new lake.

Image
The new big lake!

Image
The 4-Fields, also home to Lakewood Soccer Association. It was the river today.

Image
The roadway covered with the river. Never go through these, but I had a guy come up and say,
"I just went through this, follow me before you get locked in with the water rising!

Image

Image
The 2nd ford unrecognizable, as the river went farther over its banks thank I can remember.

Image
The river right up to the road.

Image

More rain coming tonight!

AS the rains continue, the river has gone back up to the levels of two days ago. Nearly as high as I can remember it.

Image
The red circle highlights the markings on the bridge, for when the water treatment plant floods. It was placed high
enough back in the day to be above hundred year floods. As you can see we are close and with 3 days of rain forecasted
it could take us to that height. The red straightedge outline is where Rocky River wanted the dog park moved.

Metro Parkway is still closed.
