Fourth St. SW (or Highway 218 S) looking north from the Burger King parking lot at 8th Ave followoing the July 21-22 rain and subsequent flooding. Water from run off and the dry run caused much of the damage to the SW area. 65 city blocks were evacuated. Although not everyone within those areas recieved flood damage, power had to be shut off in quadrants. Water did reach as far as 5th St. near the fairgrounds. The fairgrounds were under about 2 feet of water. Additional photographs and resources can be found at the Waverly Public Library on the local and family history page http://www.waverlyia.com/public-library/research/local-and-family-history-collection.aspx Accession No. 99N0098
