<p>I just got back from Austin, MN - went there to help with the sandbagging efforts.  Oakland Ave., which is the main east-west road through town is completely under water.  I came in from the north and got a look at the flood water about 75 yds. west of the ICE (ex-MILW) line through town.  The water was half-way up the side of a Winnebago that'd been left parked on the street.  The river has crested and was receding when I got there, but after driving around for 30 min. I finally found two guys still filling sandbags in-case more rain appeared and I pitched-in.</p><p>Looks like the ICE's bridge over Oakland Ave. should be above water, but I couldn't see it from where I was and I couldn't get any closer.  I'd have to believe the grade-crossing at 4th Ave. SE south of Oakland Ave. might be overrun.</p>
