FOTO FRIDAY: PTSD OF FLOOD OF '07

FOTO FRIDAY: I don't live with a pessimist nor alarmist but when Natureman  navigated his way home Monday evening from a meeting in La Crosse during the terrible storm and commented on the road, he uttered the words, "It's really bad, I mean really bad," The flood of ' 07, a 1000 year flood came to mind. It was not a pretty picture to say the least

Here are some pics of our one mile road in '07 after 8 mudslides and a 100 trees down, we had no road.

That was bad, really bad. So who knew what we would awake to on Tuesday am.

It wasn't this bad on our road now in 2018. Yes, we have damage but not to this extent.  What was worse was Coon Creek. Its waters were so was much higher than '07 and caused much more destruction to everyone.

2018: Here's a neighbor's pic from Hwy 162 looking at our bridge on Tuesday of Coon Creek. We couldn't take it from our side as
our lower road was under water.

Water damage brings a myriad of issues. The waters receded back under the bridge in hours as this emptied on so many above and below us. Our township had rock down by early evening and this bridge was made passable. Unreal.

Do you have some flood photos to add? Send them my way and I'll be glad to include them. 

Last week's FOTO FRIDAY was quite different:MORNING GLORY
