I know you guys love news on Willowbrook Mall.  I went out yesterday with a low powered camera (still better than my cell phone) and then again today with a professional camera.  I’ll show you some pictures of how it looks.  It’s not even remotely as bad as it was a little over a week ago but from my understanding the mall is currently closed.  Honestly, it looks like Rt. 23 is going to be completely closed in front of the mall soon.  It’s closed southbound right now, however the water is starting to flow a little more across onto the northbound side.

Oh, first things first….we have another genius driver!

The first time it was a Red SUV….now it’s a Blue SUV.  Somebody should tell them it’s “Sport Utility Vehicle” not “Submersible Utility Vehicle”.

We’ll revisit this guy later…a few times…

So, yesterday the water pretty much came up through Willowbrook Car Wash and into the parking lot of the buffet.  Here are a few more shots of yesterday.

 

 

 

 

That was yesterday.  I went back just now with a professional Canon Digital Rebel XTi and took some more shots.

 

How about we revisit that Blue SUV that did such a great parking job.

 

So, just how deep is the water by that SUV?

 

Why don’t we ask these guys?

 

 

Let’s take a look at the area around Willowbrook

 

 

 

 

 

I haven’t walked over to the mall itself yet but I don’t believe it’s nearly as bad as it was with the last flood.  I’m sure Willowbrook Blvd. is under water though.

I’ll probably head out tomorrow after the river crests to see how it looks.

 

Also, here’s where I put in my quick plug!  With the mall area under water….you could always shop online!
