I did get home last night - a revised map shows that they did NOT close the Highway 31 bridge as initially reported. It remains open, and is the only artery into and out of Columbus at this time. My commute is now detailed here - green is the normal way, orange is the revised route.

While this has turned my normal 10 minute commute into a 30 minute one, I’m not too concerned. There are plenty of people for which this has become a big mess, and I’m not one of them.

I will post pictures over the weekend - I have some good ones of yesterday, but since the river will crest tonight, I think tomorrow will provide a lot of really good photo ops.

The flooding of highway 46 (the big red horizontal blob right in the middle of the map) is the most impressive, in my opinion. The water has completely engulfed that corridor - the Holiday Inn must have 2 or 3 feet of standing water in it by now.
