From 100 inches of Snow
to Flooding
what's next Locust!

The seasons are getting wild and crazy up here. Last winter we had record snow fall at 100 inches. Then this spring we first had flooding from the ice/snow melt, then just when you catch your breath, here comes the flood waters from the rain.

This is ain street, the river is about a half a block to the left(west) in this picture. The water is a foot to 2 feet deep. You can't tell but there was a fast current. This street was like this for several weeks, and part of it is still closed.

In this picture of the river you get an idea of how fast the current in the river was, the table also is a good reference for the depth. If you look at the lower right section of the picture you'll notice the specks in the water. Those specks are the top fins of some verylarge fish (mostly Carp). The fish were swimming in to the shallower water in an attempt to escape the river cuurent.

You would never know that there is a park under all the water. This is Traxler park that is next to the river, the park is 27 acres and I'd estimate it was covered with two to three feet of water.

Last but by far not the least, here is the footage of the house on Lake Delton that floated away when the lake emptied. Lake Delton is the home of Tommy Bartletts Water Show and many other Wisconsin Dells attractions. Currently it's a mud hole.
