Constantine,Mi. at high tide

[Tomtall]

Wend. January 9th,2008 saw record highs set in the state of Michigan.(55 deg.) Record snow melt with rain on top of it made rivers top flood stage levels.

A co-worker flew his plane over the Constantine dam and American Legion Hall and snaped these pics to share with members of Hydroracer.net.

This being one of the countries favorite race sites for Pro, Stock and AOMCI meets is just a bit soggy right now. The temp's have since fallen and we are seeing 10 deg. daytime temps this weekend.

Thanks to Dan DeVillers of Parker Areospace for the great pic's.

Middle picture is of the race site. I labeled the picture but lost the size to read them when reduced for the net. American Legion Hall is the white building in the middle of the picture. River is flowing as right is north, to left as south.

Water,Water everwhere

Yes it is a cool view of the race site. The town however didn't far so well as they had a lot of property damage. This pictures shows were city streets are (yellow lines) and a park area (red squares) that are still under water. The dam that is overflowing is about two feet over it's normal hight.

That picture above is from Three Rivers, just north of Constantine. That is where I am from. The area there is really bad right now and its crazy cuz it usually happens in the beginning of spring, not this early in the year....
