Flooding at Cranes Roost Park

Just going through some old photos and found some of Cranes Roost Park when it flooded in summer of 2008 due to a very bad tropical storm (not even a hurricane!)

The water level is up the first flight of stairs at the entrance to the park.

The walkway cannot even be seen under the white sail rooftop across the water.

Anyone care for a dip?

 The stage stayed above water, but the walkway in front was not so fortunate.
The top of the hand railing can be seen along the front.

Steven loves life, apparently. :-) This was "graffiti" written on the flooded steps in front of the stage.

More "graffiti" written on the flooded steps in front of the stage.
I think it says "Peace, Seize the Mom(?) or maybe Moon?
Also, Beto loves himself. Isn't that wonderful?
Someone else is drowning...

Who can resist leaving their footie prints behind?

Looks like Fido may have also left some footie prints behind.

T
The flooding came up to about the 3rd step of the seating area in front of the stage.

*Sigh* More flooding...but...



 It wasn't all bad. The hibiscus flowers were still lovely, and for this bee it was business as usual. Two years later the park is back to normal, and hopefully updated with a better system for draining water.
