Photo: High water on the Tonawanda
Submitted by Howard Owens on April 27, 2011 - 7:42pm
A scene along South Main Road, at about 6:45 p.m., shortly after our cloudburst. Recent rains have the Tonawanda Creek running high, from bank-to-bank.
While radar shows the storm seems to have passed, a tornado watch remains in effect until 10 p.m.
There is a flash flood watch in effect from 10 p.m. until tomorrow morning.

Howard those large trees on right are mine LOL that’s the back of my property 8.7 acres. Next time you go by on South Main st take a look at that white pole barn that’s how far the water got about three yrs ago. I go out and check on creek every day this time of year water level has been up and down the past 48hrs. Check out this website http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=buf&gage=btvn6
