Flooding in town is not near as bad as '72. A lot of things have been done to mitigate flood damage since then. Plus we haven't had as much rain. I was referring to the water building up behind the bridge piers. They are really releasing a lot of water from the dam. There is a visible low place next to the sides of the piers where the fast water is speeding on by a foot or two off the pier. I don't see that often, and I live one block from the bridge.
