Looks like we dodged the bullet on flooding for the time being. According to the National Weather Service the river crested at 1 A.M. this morning in Wellsville. The river will be slowly falling in the next 24 hours. By this time tomorrow the river should be two to five feet below the level they are today. At least the firemen don't have to worry about putting up the flood wall just yet. Let's hope that the next time will be an exercise.
Above are pictures I shot yesterday of the rising waters. There is one taken from the train tressel looking at the Kenney Arena. The others are around the Wells Street bridge. The scale is on that bridge. I think it is the one the guys from WFD keep an eye on when it comes time to consider erecting the flood wall. Then there is the picture of the 10th St. water fall. With the snow & ice melting on the hill top it got active but I've seen it more looking like Niagara Falls.
We should be back to winter weather by Sunday. It's suppose to be very cold.
Stay warm...

I remember seeing all of this under water back in '04. The water was up to the roof of the pavillion at the Marina. Crazy
Hey Ole Nib, you still writing or what? ORL is up 5 to 1.
