May 30, 2008:
The thunderstorms from the previous night dumped a lot of rain in the Ames area, and as a result the Squaw and mainly the Skunk River went out of their banks. My car was parked in the commuter lot that morning, and when I realized the flood potential, I ran down to the lot and moved my car. Pretty facinating pics. |
Pictures:
