This video clip is from the Bob's Standard side of the College Dr. Bridge on Tuesday morning, June 10, 2008. The water here(I found out later) was 4.2 feet lower than on June 9.
I remember the old bridge that was in this same spot many years ago. A flood like this would have swallowed that older bridge. It was lower and much narrower if I remember right. Its been a long time. Decorah was really messed up by a flood in 1943. This flood was probably similar to that. The good folks in Decorah weren't whining and crying like the worthless 'people' in New Orleans.
