yankee jigger Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Took my youngest for a ride through the neighborhood to see whats what. Heres a pic where you shouldnt see water.Its normally a bike trail and forest preserve. Heres another shot just a little downstream and about 2 blocks from my outlaws,oops,i mean inlaws: Thats my youngest son Brian. We took a ride around our town,Brookfield,Illinois and seen quite a few sandbags being filled. I cant even imagine what ya'll in the South are going thru but we are going to get a pretty good amount of flooding around Chicago. Outdoor Advantage,i sure hope all the walleye and smallmouth in the KKK survive. Oh yeah,the City of Chicago dumped 6 BILLION gallons of UNTREATED SEWER WATER into Lake Michigan to alleviate the flooding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajan Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) Good pics Yank Ma' you get used to the Hurricanes down here. Everyone has their extreme weathers in their area. I was lucky, Flooded 3 years ago for Hurricane Rita, but Ike stopped short by 13.5". Had water in yard and watched it rise for quite a while before it finally stopped. Everyone below me that could not or did not raise their houses flooded again simular to when Hurricane Rita hit. Very sad what is around here and west.

outdooradvantage Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Took my son out to Davis Creek today to check the water level. Walked all the way down to the river only to see a road block sign reading CLOSED. K3 River is still way up, river is really moving, all the trails are flooded. It will be a while before we will be able to fish it. I think the fish will be fine but there bellies will be full for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
