I live right on the canal on Tonawanda creek road, this weather and wind is really tearing everything up around here. The dock in the picture is my neighbors, he called me and woke me up to try and lasso(sp?) it and tie it to a tree. About 4 docks have been lost already an my canoe lol. Cant wait to start cleaning up this mess. Here are some pictures hopefully i will get more tomorrow when it crests. (right now it is about 8-9 feet higher than normal). ---
