Chart of the water levels are here for the next couple days.

For those wondering, yes, that is the river level. That isn't just water gushing toward the river, that is the river itself. Photos were taken Saturday, 4:30 pm, at the peak of the flood.

Edit: Photos include

Impressive. Were you stuck downtown, or just photo-hunting?

I skated the Jail Trail to downtown, was curious as to why all traffic was diverted at the Grant St exit, and then skated back with my camera. (I skated over 12 miles, but it was worth it for the photos.)

Hopefully the Turnpike and 376W (east of the city) are okay now. I'm coming in for the TOC and don't want to get stuck anywhere. I love the flood pics though.

Hello! (friending you as soon as I post this)

376 east of the city was fine. Traffic was diverted at the Grant St exit at the flood peak, and it was fine to that point. Any other delays (mudslides, etc) were cleaned up over the weekend, especially for high-traffic roads like the Turnpike.

376 was not listed as a closed road this morning. The river was below flooding levels as of yesterday, and crews probably worked to clean it before the rush hour hit this morning.
