Flooding

It's been 2 weeks now since Peoria received all the rain (over 7 in on the weekend) from the recent hurricanes. While the Lewis family didn't have any immediate problems with it, they had friends that did, and the Illinois River flooded. But not too serious of damage. Here are some pictures the day the river crested:
the previous fountain area
river level nearly flush with the ground
the open plaza looking to the flooded riverfront restaurants
notice the stage is currently hardly visible, hence no seating available
looking at "Water Street" (appropriately named?)

"Water Street" into the plaza area
