Ohio River

You may remember that last fall we went to the Falls of the Ohio and looked at the fossil beds that are exposed in that area. It is now very different than it was at that time. Here are some August and December pictures of that area.




The far left tree is where the people were standing.

Note the spill way in the above picture then and now. The down stream water is backed up, filling this area too.


These pictures were taken on the third. It stared raining again on the fourth, about twenty-four hours ago. We have gotten over two and a half inches since then and it is continuing to come down. The storms continue to go up the Ohio so who knows how much more it will rise.
