Flood of 2008 - Burlington Bridge Area



Jamie,

Here are some great pics of the flood from around Burlington, I thought you'd want to add them to your blog.~Laura

This is about 45 min. north of us. Because the levees broke up there, we didn't have it quite so bad down at Keokuk/Hamilton and the bridge was able to stay open. Bad for them, but better for us. But I do feel horrible for these people (except for the strip bars in Gulfport, IL). I don't think it's a coincidence that they were wiped out!
