The images on this page were taken along S. Rose St. around Crosstown Park. I took the first picture on Monday, October 6, 2008 (more than two weeks after the floodwaters receded) to show what the street looks like under normal conditions. The remaining pictures were taken on Monday, September 15, 2008 (one day after the heavy rain from the remnants of Hurricane Ike stopped) as the flooding from Axtell Creek overwhelmed S. Rose St. just to the north of Stockbridge Ave.
