With the flooding last week, it brought back memories of the flood in 1968. It was a similar situation when the ice jammed at some point, and backed up the river. It was quite severe in 1968 though. Here are some photos at the same location as the ones I took!

I was very young, but I remember watching the water level rise higher and higher, until it covered the road.
These photos are pretty astonishing. Floods like this really scare me. I guess it's that primal fear of water.
