Eau Claire Flooding starting to lower

In case you haven't heard, Eau Claire and surrounding areas were hit with heavy amounts of rain resulting in some major flooding.  The flooding occurred due to the build up and rise of the mighty Chippewa river.  I believe this was the 4th largest flood that has occurred in Eau Claire's history.  The water was at the 776 marking that is on the walking bridge on UWEC campus.  The river is now on the decline and people are starting to get back the their normal routines.  I saw many people on the trails along side of the river running or pushing there kids in their strollers.  These are the same trails that were under feet of water just a few days ago.  I'm happy that things are getting back to normal.  That was one heck of a week in Eau Claire!
