May 2001 Flooding in the Lincoln area
The flood waters contained in Holmes Lake have spilled over onto the park lawns and almost onto North Holmes Lake Drive. Holmes Lake Dam, in the distance, with trees and a picnic table stranded in flood water.
May 5, 2001, the east branch of Holmes Lake at 70th Street is overflowing in flood water.  Note the old weeds from last year,  sticking out of the flood water. May, 2000, the same area of Holmes Lake covered by weeds and tall grasses.  Grassy areas were brown due to drought conditions.
One of the parking lots is partially covered by flood water. Far east Lincoln at about 93rd and Pine Lake Road shows a large amount of standing water in a farm field.
