It's been two weeks since the heavy rains of August 20 washed in to flood streets, homes and businesses, and there is no end in sight. Lake levels were already about a foot higher than their predetermined maximum, now releasing the water down through the lakes and the flooding it will cause is making this a political issue once again. Meanwhile, we have streets that have been underwater this whole time. Let's just hope we keep avoiding any heavy rainfalls for a while. Oh, it also rained another inch last night.
I found a very good website for information on the lakes, dams and water levels for our Yahara chain of lakes, link here. And I also found the short video below, posted two days ago, of the Tenney Park area. I'm sure it looks very similar still, especially after last night.
I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend. I've been taking it pretty easy so far, but I may get out for a bike ride today. Last night we had a fire before the rains came and cooked pizza and fruit pudgie pies in the coals. They were good but I burnt the first one and they did make quite a mess!
