Where exactly was that photo taken? I know you said Madison, but what is the perspective?

Don't know...I pulled it off http://www.srwmd.org/DocumentCenterii.asp?FID=53

It was like that in '98. The water at the steps would be about 30' deep. They was debris waay up in the trees, after they opened back up. The worst part is the river may still be rising.

The camera was at the front gate. Even the guard shack is underwater.

Suddenly the words to an old song kept popping in my head...

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground

Talking Heads "Once in a Lifetime"

that's crazy... I love the Park Closed sign on the fence. :diver

I know of some "dry" caves on the chipola that are currently diveable... but not for long. River is coming down fast.

So did the report take it to mean that water will be lapping the bridge by Luraville?

Straight from the FDOT's Road Information Hotline, 888-558-1518:

As of 2 p.m. on April 8, there are two state roads and one U.S. Highway closed in Madison and Hamilton counties. All closures are due to high river levels affecting the safety of crossing the bridges.

State Road 6, is closed to through traffic from U.S. Highway 90 in Madison County to Interstate 75 in Hamilton County.

State Road 145 is closed to through traffic between Madison and the Georgia state line in Madison County, and

U.S. 41 is closed to through traffic between the junction of US Highway 41 and State Road 6 to U.S 129 in Hamilton County. Motorists are detoured at State Road 6 to I-75 to US 129.

At this time U.S. 90 and Interstate 10 both remain open throughout northeast Florida and are currently being monitored as are all other state roads and U.S. highways that may be affected by the rising river waters.
