delaware river flooding

This gallery has shots from the flood on April 4, 2005, as well as images
from the flood of September 2004, and some "low" shots for comparison.

Region is Delaware River immediately upstream from Trenton.
Most images are labelled with date, or just check EXIF.

TIP : no leaves on trees (April 2005) or plenty of greenery (September 2004).

The last major flood here (before '04 flood) happened in 1955;
then, the river crested at 28 feet, with flow of 329,000 cubic feet per second;
see: http://www.capitalcentury.com/1955.html
There is an amazing photo of the Washington Crossing bridge, with water going over the bridge deck.

Crest at trenton: 23.5 feet (2004); 25.5 feet (2005). Normal level (median) is about 7 to 8 feet.
