flood 2011

there was only one road north and south during the flooding in june. these are the pics taken on our way out of town for the 4th of july. (these pictures were taken about 2 weeks after the crest of the river)







the only road traveling north and south




the traffic was a little crazy and backed up






the hoeven baseball fields and new housing development


the gravel pits and crane under water


the road built up between westhope and souris. the water was right up to the road and they did close the road for about 24 hours after we got across.




a picture taken out my mommy's window to show how close the water was on the road, outside of westhope


the current of the water was moving SOOOOOO fast under the bridge....it was kinda scary!!!
