Peoria Flood - 23rd April 2013

Peoria Flood - 23rd April 2013 - Update
 
 
I went back to dowtown last night 22nd April to take some more pictures of the flood. The River was at 29.3 ft. I also went back to the Ivy club, but could not park as the water was too high, The level was half way up the front door. Farther down the Illinois 29, the road is closed at River Beech road as it is now under water. The peak is forcast today at 1pm, however we have rain forcast today so lets wait and see.
 
Latest Pictures.

Peoria Flood - 21st April 2013

Peoria Flood - 21st April 2013

On the 17th April 2013, Peoria had a huge storm system that started at 5pm and lasted almost 24 hours. During this period over 7 inches of rain fell across Peoria and the Illinois state. The run off from this rain has ended up in the Illinois River which as of today was at 27 ft, and is forecast to reach 30 ft by Tuesday.

Below are the pictures we took today of downtown Peoria.
