Looking the other way down Sunset/Firehouse:
I think this was probably close to the highest point...water all the way across Sunset and into yards on both sides.
The end of Sunset, where it meets Trent.
Looking down Trent toward Middle/Hickman.
The rest of the pictures are from the Oyster Creek area. Thanks go to my friend Brian for the photo tour in his truck.
Hard to tell where the canals end and the land begins.
The orange cone to mark the low spot in the road made me laugh.
Water coming up over the dock at Brian's house.
There's usually a LOT more head clearance if you take a boat or kayak under this bridge.

Thanks for all the pics Kati! I've not seen my house yet, but, based on your pics, I'm guessing I have water in the yard. I'm hoping that's all. Somebody is supposed to go by there sometime today. Glad to see the water is beginning to recede. I've been watching the Harbor Inn webcam. Seeing where the water is and was on the docks gives me a good sense of which way the water is headed.
Hi Tom - sorry I didn't get a picture of your house...I didn't even venture down Back in that direction since it looked so deep. Friends I know who live near there had water in the yard but nothing in the house, so I bet yours was the same. I have not heard of any homes getting water in them. Whew!
