Flooding in the Midwest -- Picture this...

What the hell kinda overpass is that in pic seven? Surely it's just an optical illusion and not really that steep. o_O

 

It is the bridge going over the the Intercostal Waterway on Hwy 322 at Surfside Texas. It is pretty steep, but the photo does make it look steeper than it really is.

 

I don't know about going over it on a bike, but it is a pain to go over in traffic with a standard transmission. :)

This happened to us up here in Wisconsin in June. Even worse then that. Picture a river (this). Now, picture that river about twice as big. It was almost as bad as the flooding in 2004. Maybe more. Jefferson and Fort Atkinson were closed (as in no one could get through) for most of the summer, and their sewage was being backed up, so, it was entering the river as well. So, a flooded river caused massive damage. There is this small little area of land in a [small] lake (not an island. Think a peninsula, with an isthmus attached) that wrecked a nearby park (Water Damage + Sewage Cleanup + Replacing all the crap wrecked = less $$$).
