More Harrisburg Flood Comparison Pics

During my original blog earlier this spring, I showed "before & after" photos from the Pennsylvania flood I covered last year. At that time, I hadn't revisited the west bank of the river; yesterday I did. Here are some of those:

First, the Statue of Liberty (Harrisburg Style). This statue was washed away by a flood in 1995 but last year's didn't get close to the top of the railroad piling but as you can see, it was a lot higher than normal. Take a look in the upper right at the Route 322 flood wall, which had to be closed during the 2012 flood, causing me to take the alternate route that gave me this view of the statue, and led me to the "Respect the River" guy.

And finally, the flooding on that west bank down by the river. I took these pictures at a slightly different angle so I wasn't able to create the "hover" script; both are shown for comparison.

And finally, another shot from the west bank. This is a great shot because you can really see how far away from these houses the river is supposed to be - about 50 feet! The level of the river yesterday was similar to my previous pictures; the flow yesterday was about 11,000 cubic feet per second, versus 600,000 during the flooding.
