#madisonflood2018

My continued documentation of the #madisonflood water is highest yet on #lakemonona you can't even see the support structure for the end of the dock at this point, it is deceptively beautiful, I would love to go for an evening swim, maybe next summer. I did find a Garbage can complete with lid floating on the shore which I claimed, hilarious since most my lakeside activity involves collecting trash, it finally gave me a place to put it 😂 #flooding #danecounty #stilllake #dockside #risingwater #madisonflood2018 #sunset #nikonp520 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnXYLWwHbFk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x5kio0l82eer

Ben and I (and a few other people) had to rescue the dock from floating away. The #madisonflood is increasing as the Tenney Dam has been opened to keep it from bursting and we are supposed to get get more rain. I've seen prediction of 5-11 inches of water level increase in the next couple days meaning it's definitely going over the shore. Sandbags ahoy! I ended up going swimming when rescuing the dock... Then immediately showered because flood water is gross 🤢 I also rescued several spiders, retrieved a large bucket, and had to remove a drowned muskrat. It's been an eventful day. Reminds me of hurricane prep when I lived coastal. I swear everywhere I've lived has flood problems! #lakemonona #madison #madisonflood2018 #flood #danecounty
