A month before, this building - like others near the water - had been an "island" in a flood.
Life appeared to be back to normal - children were playing on play structures, people were out with their dogs. A chip wagon was parked in a part of the parking lot that a month ago had been under water.
Picnic tables were out.
Water must have poured into the basement window of that building, Terry commented. Now it's boarded up.
What residual effects did all that flooding leave? I wondered. One September, a heavy rainstorm caused sewers to back up in our neighborhood, flooding our basement. Everything had to be torn out and rebuilt.
When flood water disappears, the problem isn't over! What reconstruction do they still have to do here?
