The images on this page were taken in downtown Kalamazoo
near the east
side of
Bronson
Hospital on September 15, 2008. Although the flooding did not
directly effect the
Emergency/
Trauma entrance to the hospital, the flooding from the Portage and
Axtell creeks did make it especially
difficult for people to get to that part of the hospital
from the south
because all of the routes were cut off. The flood waters did
not even begin to recede from this area until the following
weekend.
