Springtime flooding on the Ohio River. Louisville Kentucky USA. May 1990.

Flooding on the Ohio River. Louisville Kentucky. May 1990.

I took this photo during a May 1990 motorcoach vacation to the Great Smokey Mountains in the states of Tennesee and North Carolina.

This photo was taken one morning, on the return leg of the trip back to Chicago.
We had spent the previous night lodging in downtown Louisville Kentucky. During the time of My visit, the mighty Ohio River was experiencing seasonal Springtime flooding.
The boat docks at the Louisville Wharf, were actually submerged. The boat mooring Capstans were just inches below the surface in a few places, and currents were carrying tree branches and debris downstream.
