[2:50 PM] Lafayette Bridge. Winds were really picking up and things were getting rough again. Au contraire, a group of ducks were staging a pensive atmosphere. From South side of Lafayette River and New York Ave.

[2:50 PM] Paved sidewalk was now under the water. The building at upper left side is a good example of FEMA's flood mitigation (i.e., pass-thru first floor). South side of Lafayette River and New York Ave.

[2:50 PM] All the private piers and docks are under the raging water. North side of Lafayette Bridge and New York Ave.

[2:50 PM] Roads under the water. New hampshire Ave. and Mayflower Rd. junction.

[2:50 PM] Another view with a road sign reference for water level. New hampshire Ave. and Mayflower Rd. junction.

[3:00 PM] Backflush was still going on after Floyd moved out in a stormwater drain manhole. Rhode Island Ave. and Colonial Ave.

[3:00 PM] Another closer view. Rhode Island Ave. and Colonial Ave.
