Janesville Update

just some updates on the flooding in janesville. they're estimating at least $25 million in damages. and while they've dropped the estimated level at which the rock river will crest, it's still spilling over.

the above picture is looking over what was a walkway and the downtown dam in the background. the walkway is actually lower than where you see the carp flopping about at the bottom of the picture.

remember the picture of the library? the water is making its way there, too.


and just some other photos that show how the flooding is affecting downtown janesville.


so far...my parents remain okay.

oh, shit, eric. these photos are heartbreaking. i'm glad you're parents are okay but so much of their town is damaged. having lived through terrible flooding it's hard to see these photos and not remember when our city was under water.
