Michigan Tech University's admin bldg... the dorms are all built on higher ground
the above is looking downstream from Mt Ripley, into what was Cynthia's back yard.
the house above, on the right, the light tan one? Cynthia's. https://www.gofundme.com/ripley-falls-flood-help-the-drakes
The water first went crashing through her house, and woke her up by knocking over her fridge. That's in the middle of the night... scary as hell to wake up to a flash flood running THROUGH your house
Above is the far side of her house
This is her back yard, and one of the worst of the flash flood rivers which destroyed her ground level floor, and the below photo is the debris field in her front yard and street, that was all washed down from her back yard
and below, further downstream, and that house on the right is her house again
