It was all over the news yesterday, they had footage from Skycam 4 of about
20 loose boats that went bouncing off the bridge structures and eventually
they all went thru the lock and dam.

One looked to be a 40-80K pleasure boat that was pinned against the bridge
structure as a few others slammed into it......;(

The marina they were all docked at reported they had about 65 boats before
the Flooding started
and had only 5 left that they could keep from breaking loose.....
