July 25 - FLOOD


Well, we have been in downtown Naper the past 3 years now and 2 of the 3 have featured 2 of the biggest rain events in the 150 yr history. 7 inches of rain in 24 hours means river is hiiiiiiigh.

We have lost (misplaced?) our main camera - so the iPhone quality is best it gets for the moment.


Not a good year to own Rosebud in Naperville. 3 weeks ago, the place nearly burns down, and now they probably have flood damage again.



Normally, you can walk under that bridge, with head room to spare...so my guess is water is 6-7 ft above normal levels.
No, its not the Lousiana Bayou - its the Naperville Riverwalk Park area...needless to say, kids did not play there today. We had told Carter he caused all this because the night before he had broke the kitchen faucet...I think he believed us for a bit given the look on his face.



Another bridge downs stream.


And finally, a non flood pic - Connor playing games at the Library.
