Reservoir Coralville
|
Mystery Photo. What is it?
|
Guess where this was taken from?
|
Hwy 70 North of CJ along Cedar
|
The Coralville Reservoir
Spillway
in the upper part of this photo is the Mystery Photo. It's
more flat than the vertical illusion in the photo to the right.
This is the Iowa River.
|
Here is the mystery photo with a
link to it's full size photo. It's the Coralville Reservoir
Spillway. Look at the photo to the left. The Spillway is in
the upper portion of the photo.
|
How about on top of the Columbus
Jct. water tower. The view is to the NE. That is the City
Water works within a levee and the hoop salt and sand
shed. Now guess who took it - not me.

River North of Columbus Jct. by Hwy 70.

Tyson remained fairly dry
compared to the rest of the area. Thanks again Tyson for
supplying the water to Columbus Jct. and Columbus City.

This confinement is North of the Thirsty Camel. North of Columbus
Jct. on Hwy 70, and East toward the Cedar River.

Keithsburg, IL |
Levee Break West of Oakville
|
Lock 17
|
Doug and Jane Boyer East of Oakville
|
There is record flooding on the
Mississipi River. This is below the mouth of the Iowa River so
Keithburg, IL gets the whole works. Keithsburg is in Mercer County, IL.
|
There were several breaks in the
Iowa River levee West of Oakville. The water also topped the
levee in other places.
|
Lock and Dam 17 is two miles
North of New Boston, IL. The West half of the dam is actually in
Louisa County. The lock chamber and gates were under water.
|
My niece Jane and her
husband Doug's house is surrunded by water. Jon Ball, Jane's
Nephew, reported to me that the kitchen floor wasn't wet, however there
are lower parts of the house and garage that are probably wet.

Oakville Looking SE

|
Oakville, Ia looking to the
North. Water can be seen flowing over Hwy 99 in the foreground.
|
I was awe struck by the vast
amount of water in the back ground looking East. That is not the
river and it is not a lake (normally). |
Tri-Oak Foods is in the
foreground. You can see Hwy 99 in the upper right.
|
Hwy 99 South of Oakville

the background with water flowing over it is Hwy 99 to Burlington.
|
The airplane is over Lake Odessa
lookng NE. In the back ground is a stranded 15 barge tow (white
boat) on the Mississippi River.
|
Schafer's access has water on
some of the lower cabins.
