Speaking of Floods

The plaques are on a wall of the observation tower by the river at the foot of Main Street in the River Market and show the levels of three of our floods. In 1993, thank goodness, the levees held and there was no flooding in the bottoms. Notice how similar the dates are.

Lost Inscription

One of my posts below was of a building which had the high water mark written on it from the flood of 1951. Well the people that are "renovating" the building apparently decided that history is irrelevant to the future (unless they are going to put up some plaque in its place... right). So... at least I have a photo of it... and now you will too. I want to make it harder to stamp out the past. Here it is... the location in the first photo and a crop in the second.
