Mississippi River Flooding

Due to all the snow this winter up north the mississippi river is flooded 12 feet above flood level... which is about 20 feet above where it normally is... the water is almost to the road on Mud Island where we live... which is a big difference from this time last year... We decided to take pictures of the water tonight while on our walk... the first pictures are of the bench where Frank proposed to me... From where the pictures are taken I would be under water today... the second set of pictures are of the river today... everything... including our bench... is completely underwater!

The first set of trees (from the bench pics) are completely underwater

The water level Is so high we could throw gus in!
