Andrew showed me this website that has the depth of the Cedar River graphed and updated every few hours or so.  Naturally, since June 13 I have been real obsessed with that website.

Here’s today’s reading:

In case it’s too small for you to read, the river is at 9.55 feet, as observed at 10:00 a.m. today.  That puts the Cedar River 21.57 feet lower than it was on June 13 when it swamped downtown.  Yowza.

I just wanna see it hit 6 feet again.

Seriously, growing up I had no idea how shallow that river normally is.  I thought it was very deep and very, very scary (but then I am petrified of water and heights and normally would have been standing on a bridge over the river looking down into it.)

Has anyone seen the Tree since the water went down?  How’d that thing survive all the water?  Maybe it fell down…
