Title: Road Closed Post by: Kyna on June 14, 2008, 09:43:33 PM So Ducatiloo and I went trekking around on his bike yesterday and today to get a look at some of the damage. It's amazing how many roads are closed but people try to cross them anyway. But I'm getting side tracked. I really wanted to share a photo. I'll let Ducatiloo decide which others to share, but as the official photographer I think I get some say.
Here is Ducatiloo looking at a road untraveled (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v668/kynafairge/Stormy%20Weather%202008/100_0672.jpg) So here is my request from all the other members of COW: go out and ride, and if you have a chance snap a few pics of what the roads are like around you. Title: Re: Road Closed Post by: vwboomer on June 15, 2008, 03:54:09 AM I saw a lot of brand new lakes yesterday but the water had generally receded from the road. There were plenty coatings of dried up mud however.

Title: Re: Road Closed Post by: J3 on June 15, 2008, 02:11:56 PM Went for a pretty long ride today, but I checked the DOT website for road closures before heading out. Check here too if you are actually looking for roads that are flooded: http://www.dot.state.wi.us/travel/incident-alerts.htm
Title: Re: Road Closed Post by: Ducatiloo on June 15, 2008, 07:00:26 PM To find a flooded road all I have to do is attempt to go to work. Every pic posted on this thread by me is from a road I tried to take to work.
Incident Type: Flooding County: Jefferson Roadway: STH 019W Direction: EB/WB Cross Street: CTH Q to Hubbleton Rd Lanes Affected: All lanes blocked (both directions) Time Incident Occurred: 11:00:00 AM Estimated Duration: unknown Additional Info: HWY 19 closed from CTH Q to Hubbleton Rd due to flooding (http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o292/ducatiloo/100_0713.jpg) (http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o292/ducatiloo/100_0706.jpg) (http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o292/ducatiloo/100_0707.jpg) (http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o292/ducatiloo/100_0705.jpg) Title: Re: Road Closed Post by: Kyna on June 16, 2008, 10:09:20 AM The DOT only has the main roads that are closed listed. In our area the majority of the back roads are closed as well. I just thought it would be interesting to see what the after effects of the storm were in different areas of the state. I realize the water has receeded a bit now.
