Robbie and I got of tour of the flooded area from the air yesterday afternoon, courtesy of Northfielder and Delta pilot Mark Carson and his wife Alice.

Update 8:15 am: Alice Carson gave me 3 photos of downtown Northfield and Carleton’s Laird Stadium that she took in 2008. I’ve added them to the album. Interesting comparison.

Alice Carson created 3 composite images of aerial photos, comparing the downtown and Laird Field/Carleton Stadium flooding with normal conditions side-by-side. I’ve added these images to the aerial photo album, starting here:
