St Marc River that overflowed this bridge for days. Yesterday was first day we could drive across it.2.)These are backwards in sequence. Gary and Jessica coming off the north end of Montrouis bridge to our truck parked near by.
3.)Crossing the bridge to go to St Marc.
4.)Gary saying, "Come on Carolyn quit talking to people we need to cross the bridge!" If you could hear the sounds, you'd hear people shouting, arguing, and you'd constantly have to watch not to get run into by a wheel barrow.
5) I tried to show the crowded situation but it doesn't appear that way in picture 5.
6.) Gary crossing to get to Montrouis side to get Jessica.
7.) The Montouis River, still flowing very fast and continuing to damage the bridge. When you walk across the bridge you can feel that it's tipped.
8, 9.) The bend in the middle can be seen on the railing in two pics.
10.)Gary going under the chain on the north side of the bridge to cross to Montrouis.
11.) The highway entering into St Marc chipped away by flood.
12.) The highway completely broken off as you can see at the right, that was part of the highway.
Hope these pics give you more of an idea of what is happening. The Montrouis bridge is vital to transporting goods and people. Hopefully they'll get another route across this river so we everyone can begin to move. Tomorrow we will go through the same process. Mike Painter will pick the Carpenters up at the airport and we will meet them only, by the time they get to the Montrouis bridge it'll be dark....that should be interesting to say the least.
