Flooding in Reedsburg

It is hard to believe that something like this happened in Reedsburg. But our town did get hit hard with flooding. Monday morning I got up as usual to go to work. Mark came in and told me that schools were closed. I went anyways to see what was going on. On my drive to school, I came to see how bad things really were for our town. Above is a picture of our movie theater.
Above is the bridge to get over to school. It closed down around 9:00 am. I was on it around 8:30. This was one of few ways to get over to the west side of town.

This is looking down the street towards the grocery store parking lot and sign. Obviously there is no parking lot and the sign is half underwater.
These two pictures are of Webb park.

The picture below is of the road that goes to another bridge that will get you to the west side of town. As you can tell there is no way to get across this way. Not only is this power station underwater, but the town's water treatment plant is also being hit by flood waters.

The amount of flooding is unbelieveable for our town. My thoughts are with all the families that are effected by the flooding both in our community and beyond.
