Flood waters in Decorah, IA

These pics are from the flood June 2008. The water crested at 17.9 ft which is a record. These pics are actually a bit lower of what the water level was at. The water level was probably a foot underneath the leif erickson bridge and 2 to 3 ft from spilling over the top of the dike.
