Now the scale of the flooding in Janesville is no where near the scale of what has happened in Iowa, but the images and movies are still pretty compelling:
Man, that is the Rock River, I’m guessing? Google maps seems to put you about half a mile from there, but I couldn’t find what the elevation is. About how much higher than the river are you?
I know that we’re actually on the top of the hill, relative to the river, but I’m having a hard time finding our elevation as well. I’m going to try and find it through Google Earth.

Just to follow up, we’re about 30 meters above the river. So no worries

I would guess those fish are grass carp. It appears they’re actually feasting on grass!

Yup. Rock River. It runs right through town.
