| Wow, awesome photos. Almost scary what Mother Nature can do when she sets her mind to it. Humbling to realize how small I really am in this world.

Wow, that's a lot of water! What a horrible mess it must have been for everyone. I can't even imagine having to deal with cleaning up and trying to get things back to normal after that.
I think the airplane pic is very cool! |

I'm very familar with the interchange in the first picture (car trouble on the way to Eugene 2 years ago, manage to glide off the freeway, across the bridge and into the Ford dealership directly below the camera (yes they flooded out too  ) had lunch at the Applebee's while it was fixed (I think it's the red building bhind the new tan ones just across the freeway) Most of it was still under construction or just opened.
the freeway under the overpass was under 10' water/mud for 4-5 days, but was basically undamage.
Not so for the surounding homes and farms, everything was tainted by mud and almost everything has to be thrown away still some amazing stories of survival and helping coming out of that area. |
