The Riverfront today - now 4ft over flood stage.
(Run your mouse over the square and enlarge) |
Once a place to get a great hotdog, it now serves as a marker for our floods..
During the Great Flood of 1993, the water crested at 22.63 feet on July 9 This is nearly 8 feet above the 14.9 foot flood stage. The waters rose to the top of this cafe. |
The Rhythm Casino is shut down until the waters recedes.
