This experience today was Unbelievable! Places I have gone my whole life completely under water!
1. This was an interesting shot, 50+ Gravel Trucks loaded and ready to go to the next call!

2. Between Council Bluffs and Crescent, East of I29

3. I29 and the Canadian National (CN) Track. north of Council Bluffs

4. looking west at I29, there is also a CN track next to those trees.

5. Above I29 looking back East, the water runs right up to the Bluff.

6. I think the water is backing up a creek and then flowing towards the river. Here again is a
CN track with the water flowing west like in photo 4.

7. the CN bridge over the creek and once again water flowing away from the creek. FYI, several people think
that if the CN line gets too much damage, they may just pull out of town and abandon the line.
