THE GREAT FLOOD OF '93
In and around the Quad Cities, USA.
Intersection of US Highway 61 and Brady Street.
View facing Centennial Park. There would
be no Bix Fest here this summer.
The river simply disregarded the dam and flowed
into downtown Davenport, IA.
River Drive in Davenport, IA living up to her
name.
The "Boys of Summer" would have to find somewhere
else to play -- all this after a multi-million dollar face lift to John
O'Donnell Stadium in Davenport, IA.
Incidentally, Rock Island, Illinois, just across
the river from Davenport, was mostly unaffected by the flood. They
have portable flood walls that bolt atop the bicycle path that runs the
length of the levy on the Illinois Side of the river. For the Illinois-Quad
Cities, the flood was more of a nuisance -- minor street flooding in East
Moline, and some flooded out residence on Campbell's Island. (No loss there)
The damage to Iowa was far worse.
