born and raised in fond du lac never got sa chance to see the flooding i wAs lost in love in North Carolina with my daughters faTher i ran away with him to enjoy new things:)
I grew up at 173 S. Marr in the 1950s. We had the same type of serious flood one year. That big white apartment building across the street used to be part of a Deep Rock Gas station. The Kirchensteins lived there and owned the gas station. All that's left is the garage. The big houses and lawns and gardens across the street are gone too. I went to school at St. Joes down the street. Whatever happened to Bobby Knipple who lived around the corner on 4th? FdL in the 50s was heaven on earth.
I also live in FDL and thank god the flooding didn't get any worse than it did, i live right behind the sheriffs Dept and near the river which didn't do too much damage with the exception of a few apts on the lower level.
my daughter had to walk a good way last night, she works at buckle..her car started today, but is soaking up the water on the floor..she walked about five miles in high heels! we live in the UP, can`t help her much thank god her car is ok..
I was very lucky that day. My house is built on sort of a rise. I had water all around me, the street looked like a river. I thought I'd be lucky if only the basement flooded. No flooding, the basement floor was wet, but the drain never backed up and was still able to drain properly.
ahh my home town has turned into a big lake! thanks for the sharing the footage it beats the Reporters pics

Fond du Lac is really the fond du lac right now. I hope my husband can fly out of there tonight and come home.
