From Last Years Flood

This is a view of the old Kendal Bridge. It was destroyed in last Junes flood.

This is the bridge remains washed down stream.
South End of the old Bridge



North side of the bridge. People talk about how that night in the flood the rivers flooded. A storm came off the ocean, another storm came from Guatemala and they met over the mountains. It was more than just the rivers flooding, it was a wall of water that wiped out so much. They say there was a tree jam that took out the Kendal Bridge.
Now, the road diverts down the bank a little and this bridge is the temporary bridge. Over the summer it got washed out a few times. Its not very high up and has no sides... kinda strange to drive over. When you see cars going over, you park and wait your turn. Sometimes there are people there to monitor the traffic, but not always.
