The Great Flood of '08

I know we are all going to be inundated with flood photos and stories, but I really wanted to share these with you and my friends and family here and in California.

For the past 24 hours, downtown has been swarming with onlookers, police, reporters, and the like.

As a matter of fact, it has been so busy here that many of the store owners downtown are considering flooding the river at least once a month to help stimulate sales.

Don’t quote me on that.

So if you can’t get down here to see it for yourself, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the photos from the comfort of your home.

In the mean time, we will be gathering two of every animal down here and will be putting them in the ark I have Mrs. Otto building out behind the studio.

    The Bear Statues.

  

    The bridge behind Main Street Plaza.

  

 

   The dam is completely under water.

    The river at the West end of Main Street.   

 The corner of West Main Steet and West Avenue

  Looking down West Main.

  Couri Insurance is taking no chances.

So is the Wisconsin House flooded?  Structurally unsound? I'm just trying to find the silver lining here.

I hope everyone who lives and operates a business downtown is doing ok.
