Evidence of flooding

Pictures behind the cut...


This picture was taken by me about two weeks ago, before we'd had inordinate amounts of rain (3" or so on the 8th, nearly 6" last Friday):


You can see that everything looks pretty normal; calm rivers, the point is above water and visible, and so on.




This picture was taken by John Patrick yesterday, and I stole it from ThePittsburghChannel.com.


I think it speaks for itself.

Dude. Just wait for a big spring thaw. We get one of those once every 8-10 years or so; last one was in.. I wanna say '96. [though with the extreme mildness of the last few winters, maybe climate change is going to disallow this in the future.]

But yeah. In addition to having river levels higher than this, there's also cold and iceberg-like chunks of.., well, ice.
