During the Great Flood of April 2013 - April 19th

The water had pretty much receded by Friday morning.
 
 


 
 










During the Great Flood of April 2013 - From morning to night

Here's a link of photos in chronological order from approx. 8 am to 6:30 pm on Thursday April 18th.  Some of the photos show our back yard and our neighbors' back yards.  These were taken at around 1pm.  The photos of the Rain Garden immediately preceding the back yard photos were taken at the same time.

 
It's unfortunate that the Lytro camera doesn't timestamp photos.  I didn't realize this until the end of the day on Thursday. 

During the Great Flood of April 2013 - April 18 - High Point

These photos were taken at what I think was pretty much the high point, around 8:10 am on Thursday morning.  From what I understand, we had had at least 5 inches of rain in the preceding 24 hours. The two views of the street are of Washington Blvd., looking toward Elizabeth.  My driveway is in the lower right hand corner.

I have some photos that I took with my Lytro camera here:

The Lytro camera allows you to set the focus of the photo after the photo is taken.   I'm still on a learning curve with it and the resolution of the photos are not that great, but you can still get a feel for what was happening with the Rain Garden on Wednesday, 4-17.
