Dan River at Union Street Danville, VA

About 30 minutes after cresting at 26 plus feet. Panorama done with three merged shots in Photoshop. Our own little Niagara Falls, replete with vapor and mist.

Nice job!!

I hope everyone/everything is ok down there. We've had rain for days, but it's not that bad. (knock on wood)

That last photo Cazzie brings new meaning to the word "flood". I'd say you got some serious water down there. Hope all is well, stay dry.

Brad, if you had that much water in the Windy City, how long could you tread water?

RE: Johnstown flood of 1889

....Getting a wee bit off the track...here's a link to photos of the Johnstown Pennsylvania flood of 1889. Quite a few books have been written about this calamity (brought on by human folly) plus PBS has shown a wonderful documentary on the subject.

Just make sure they're the industrial strength water wings.
