So, we're experiencing the worst flooding we've ever had in 35 years. [1] [2] My $work is only a few blocks from the river, but we've lucked out and haven't had any water in the building. What's even more remarkable is that they didn't shut the power off to our section of the grid so all of our services remain online! (disaster planning? ppfft! who needs it?)
The office was closed Thursday as the city wanted people to stay out of the downtown district. We came down anyway (as did a pile of other people) to try and grab some photos.
Above: the first photo is from Wednesday, when we could still get into Officer's Square -- By thursday afternoon, it was completely flooded.

Above: The lighthouse, normally accessible by land, is now more like a real lighthouse. The onramp to the bridge is innaccessible, as is the underpass. "parking lot full" hah!
