Let's go Tubing

            Entrance of the Millcreek Tube, a concrete enclosure built after the Great Erie Flood of 1915 that killed 37 and caused significant damage. This 2.3 mile tunnel under the city begins near my home and travels north to its endpoint west of the Erie Wastewater Treatment Plant, emptying into Presque Isle Bay.  This is a look inside on a hot day--you can see the fog of humidity, which gets very thick as one travels further inside. There is but a trickle of water during the heat of summer, but I've recorded video during flooding in 2009 that has the swell at almost halfway up the tunnel. And yes, there have been individuals who've fallen in and have been swept to the endpoint, which unfortunately [fortunately?] has iron bars to prevent debris from entering the bay.
