Nenana Flood

The river is over the banks and Nenana is starting to flood. Most of the ditches are full and the water almost meets in the middles of the streets. Some are completely under water. All the area of the above map that is spray painted pink is flooded. The area inside the railroad loop has been evacuated.
Photo taken Wednesday evening about 7 p.m. Taken at the point of the yellow circle on the above map.Same point Saturday morning.
Dark green rectangle. 3rd St and B, looking toward river.
Dark blue rectangle, looking toward the railroad loop. Friday afternoon.
Same point but looking toward a house not down the street.
My house, light blue rectangle. 1st and E.
Blue Square, looking out by where the barges tie up. The water is over the dock and almost up to the tripod.
Street between the Civic Center and Coghill's Store. Pink square on map. The city plugged the storm drains with dirt, water was coming out instead of going in. Water is still seeping up.

Down here in the lower 48, we are praying that you stay safe and dry. Keep us posted. You don't know me, but I care.
