I kow this is OT, but thought you boys would like to see the mess north of Lafayette from the rains/flooding. Pics are of the Oakdale dam area, and a popular watering hole south of Norway dam, in Monticello.    The top three are oakdale area and downstream, the last is the Riverside, in Monticello, with 5-6 ft. of water in the bar! Now I gotta get back to sweeping water in my basement. Mad Dog |

It is terrible. We have a summer/hunting house there and I have some pictures posted on my blog. Here is one of them. We are in Buffalo just north of Monticello.  |

I actually live in Reynolds, about 6 mi. west of Monticello, on US 24. I'm still sweeping seeping water in my basement. No damage to anything, just a pain. The lady's house, across the street is in a low area, and she had 4 ft. water up on her house! We're 6 miles from the lake! Yesterday, they still wouldn't let you cross the bridges at Norway, or Oakdale dams.

Kind of an update. Mitch is asking for Fed. disaster aid, for the area. I sure hope they handle it better than Katrina and others, or some of the ole river rats that got flooded out might decide to shoot a bureaucrat or two that screws around with the paperwork!
I'm still sweeping water in my basement, but thank God no damage or loss!
