As soon as they broke up the ice jam between our house & Grandpa's, the water from both yards quickly receded.
I wish it had been lighter so you could have seen how much water was in the yards.
Ice chunks & pieces of the tree (that was broken off with the back hoe) floating down stream.
The back corner of our workshop/shed--water flowing over & through the sand bags.
Flooding by our house (work shop directly to the left). This is around 5:30 am.
This is blurry, but a ton of ice is heading downstream.
And within 15 minutes, the creek dropped a foot or 2.
More ice & debris
Breaking up one more big ice jam behind our shed/workshop.
Another big branch from the tree.
The water dropping (or really the ice is gone off the bottom of the creek bed now so the water can flow like it should).
Hard to see in this picture, but the water has dropped.
If you look across the creek, you can see how much the water dropped. It is getting closer to 7 am (getting lighter).
And just like that, the water is almost gone.
Until we get downstream. This is 2 blocks south--we are on the old highway looking south. (To the right is the football field/school)
The 5th St. bridge (which is now condemned). This is where a lot of the ice was backing up. The machines were working all night scooping ice out of the creek & breaking up as much as they could. This is around 7:30 am (Sunday morning).
