Each Spring, because we live in the river valley of the Saint John river, there's the potential for flooding.
Now, our 'flooding' could be called nothing in comparisons to other places on the planet, but it's all relevant eh?
It's always hard to tell how bad the flood will be, not a lot of rain, cool temps, maybe not much of a flood... Lots of rain, abnormally high temps, well that's where we're at right now.
I had posted pix from my walk the other day and the water was just up the river bank a tad... Today, there's streets downtown closed because they are underwater. The on and off ramps for the Westmorland Street bridge are partially submerged, thus traffic is insane at all times of the day because there's only one or possibly two ways on the bridge.
From what I heard today while i was out, people are saying that the flooding levels currently are what they had forecast them to be on Sunday, like this coming Sunday... So we could be in for some real major flooding this year. We have some 10mm of rain coming tonight, so that'll add to the problem... Get out them canoes! Surfs up in Freddy Beach1
Here's some footage from my walk today...
