Missouri River Flooding 2011

Gavin's Point Dam	A sight to see! note the cars crossing the top of the dam
spillway	it's hard to describe the speed of the water
the mist rising from the water could be seen from 5 miles away	water is just so volatile coming out of dam
another shot of this historical man-made event	current of water that is entering the top side of the dam
another shot of current	looking at the hydro-electric side of the dam
lots of people	note current coming out of the electric plant spillway
How much force does it take to create that mass amount of mist in the air? It can be seen from 5 miles away people!	crossing over the dam looking down river
Rainbow created by mist!	almost pretty
it would be pretty if I did not know where that water was heading	full rainbow
top side of the dam	life of leisure: boating, fishing, hiking
tourism is alive in South Dakota	looking west of the bridge at Yankton
of the next three pictures which one is of the river and which ones are back water
	the Ol' Double Decker bridge at Yankton
South Dakota side of bridge
these three pictures were taken south of Vermillion

My home is located along the bluffs in Ne. On the evening of the fourth we can usually see the fireworks in Onawa, Blenco, Little Sioux, Mondamin, Modale, and Mo. Valley. It is good to know that they are still dry. Keep the faith and hope that the water stays low. Next to Gavin's from air depending on the weather.
