Spring flood proving a minor inconvenience in Davenport

In downtown Davenport, water is up to the curb of Beiderbecke Drive at the base of Dillon Fountain on Main Street. LeClaire Park is gaining water on the edges, and many people took advantage of the sunny warm day to river watch.

The Mississippi River continues to push out of its banks, but the rising waters are proving a boon to outdoor enthusiasts rather than a hindrance to property owners so far.

MHJphotos Wow ... I'm so out of touch! I had no idea the Mississippi was flooding. I have to get back into it.

#2 is a wonderful shot ... the framing and the bridge in the background is fantastic. Very well done!

focussed yikes!.....it amazes me to think of so many draught striken places and then see an image like this! If only it was as easy as sharing it around. Composition of the second shot is fantastic!

maharba Wow...in 1970 or 71 a buddy and I crossed that bridge by foot on a very cold night. We were hitch-hiking. Thanks for posting.

mowestlan Such great shots--I'm glad it's still proving favorable for the enthusiasts....but having had a flooded basement due to rising rivers more than once, hopefully all's well. And I'm also glad it's a warm, sunny day for you!
