Severe storms and flooding caused problems locally and statewide in June 2008. The following photos were submitted by users of Gazettextra.
he water would build up in the parking lot from the rain ,so we had to pump it over the wall 24/7 until we could take down the sand bags.

I've had comments about how pretty our flag is in the middle of the river so thought I would share. The flag is at the beginning of our pier if its still there. The boat lift is out there some where I hope. My husband and I live on the Rock on N. River Rd. We have damage but not too serious - YET!

Our backyard on N Parker Dr taken on Friday June 13th. We had to run & get 22' extention poles for our floating pier along with the neighbor. Our pontoon boat was under that Shore Station until Sunday afternoon. Across the river is the Joseph St area that was evacuated. Good luck to everyone - we're in it with you!!!
