Stopped by LaFox River Drive to see what the Fox River was doing to the neighborhood Tuesday and found it had gone down a fair amount.
The street is no longer inundated.
Water in the corner apartment building’s driveway no longer threatens its foundation.
The water level at Cornish Park’s bathroom building is lower.
The double dikes in the first home on LaFox downstream from the dam were holding.
Wednesday morning’s flood gage showed the river south of the dam at 12.1 foot, steadily declining.
Somewhat of a metraphor about the whole, damned State ….. it’s all underwater!
