Hi folks, I have some bad news and need your help. The EPA is trying to force new flood maps on Nelsonville, and they are just as bad as the 2013 maps. I need help with flood pictures in Nelsonville, specifically on the Canal Street side of the tracks. I know there is an old one of a fire truck with water up to the tail board from the 60s/70s. What I am trying to prove or disprove is flooding on the Canal Street side of the tracks. My understanding is 1907 was the last flood in town from the river. The more recent high-water events have been storm water backed up. Please correct me if I am wrong and fill in all the pieces I am missing.
Thank you!
