Floods in Auburn

Great photos as usual, just the subject matter that's bad. Looks pretty widespread.

Thanks Ken! I thought I posted a link above and maybe I did... but here's the rest of the photos I took that day:

Yeah... I got a call from Don at NATMUS last Friday. He was calling to let me know that they had water in the basement and that my car was probably in some water. But, the un-official ACD Tow Galaxie was parked in my garage this year.

Guess they are looking for volunteers to help in cleanup. I wasn't able to last Saturday, tho if I wasn't putting an attic floor in I would have been there.

It looks from the pictures that the lower level of Natmus had to have some water. I do not remember how high those two trucks were above ground level. Hopefully somebody paid attention to the cars at Natmus.
Looks like the park has a foot or so of water covering that. Its almost to the top of the bridge, and that is up there a ways.
Nice Pictures David

You're safe. There's an empty lot behind my house.
If you're worried just stay a few blocks away from Cedar Creek.

Record floods. Cedar Creek crested at 12.39 feet. 9 feet is flood stage. Previous record was 11.3 feet.

I have a property that has about 10 feet of it in the "100 year flood plan", and it was up that high. Didn't get to the house, so good there.

I was surprised by the number of homes impacted in town.

Hopefully the park will be dried out by August!

There's a bunch of cars in the basement of the Natmus. Wonder how they fared?

I was gonna put the un-official ACD Tow Truck 66 Galaxie there over the winter but left it at home. But if I hear, I'll share.

I live about 3/4 of a mile away... so yeah... I'm dry. Thanks for asking.

Tonight I might venture on the north side of town to see what was flooded or still is flooded.

More photos... taken around 11am today (3/12)

Basically anything near Cedar Creek is under water. It was getting to dark to take photos in the park.

Pictures might be a little slow at showing. My host as been a little slow these past few days....
