In the middle of trying to put a different post together I walked down by the creek out of curiosity to see the level, and I am pleased to see that it has gone down some, but is still a couple feet higher than it should be. You can see some space beneath the bridge, probably not enough for kayaks or canoes to make it down the creek, but it is certainly improvement. Either way, all the ducks are swimming in the water - and still don't seem to mind.

There's a nifty animation of the lake levels of the last seven days under those blue words. You can see it's still nowhere near what it should be.
A closer up picture after the break, and a butterfly sign that I don't remember seeing before, oddly.

Has the rain eased off? That river does look high when looking at the bridge and only limbo kayakers could go under it. Hopefully things have improved there for you all. I saw on my modelling group on fb some North Carolina modellers posted the flooding they experienced. Truly awful and devastating for so many people.
I forgot to add that I really like that butterfly sign. It's good to see people doing what they can to educate and enrol support to improve the ecology.
We've not had enough rain to make matters worse, but others like you mention in the Carolinas have bigger problems, this is just local to us, and even now it affects our daily lives practically not at all. But this does need to be a wake up call to local authorities about how high we've kept the lake levels for boating and recreational purposes and how close we are to much more catastrophic flooding if current practices continue. One voluminous rainstorm led to this. What if we get another one, or a bigger one?
And yes, people here do support causes like the monarch waystation and there is effort to take care of our environment here. Madison is good that way, and we enjoy the benefits.
