Water, Water Everywhere....

This is the park area where my art festival is located. That obelisk sticking out of the water is the marker for levels of the worst floods of the past. The very top is where the water was in 1997. We have already surpassed two of the worst floods in the past 100 years.
Below is a water-free shot of the same location last year during the festival with the current water level marked for comparison.

This is the bridge down the street from where I work. Normally the water is about 25 feet below the bridge.

This is photo of the city shutting down and walling off the bridge.
This is the view from behind my office.
