The flood waters contained in Holmes Lake have spilled over onto the park lawns and almost onto North Holmes Lake Drive. | Holmes Lake Dam, in the distance, with trees and a picnic table stranded in flood water. |
May 5, 2001, the east branch of Holmes Lake at 70th Street is overflowing in flood water. Note the old weeds from last year, sticking out of the flood water. | May, 2000, the same area of Holmes Lake covered by weeds and tall grasses. Grassy areas were brown due to drought conditions. |
One of the parking lots is partially covered by flood water. | Far east Lincoln at about 93rd and Pine Lake Road shows a large amount of standing water in a farm field. |
