The flooding in southern Ontario is bad - here are my videos

Not as bad as Muskoka last  April, or Calgary in June, but it is bad. The high waters are flowing, and community after community is being affected. The Rideau River was swollen, and fast flowing.

We took a tour on a sunny day, Saturday, April 12th. The day before more rain was expected.
They closed the road to these people's homes. The water is so high. Families had to park on highway #43. This is Hilly Lane, near Kemptville, North Grenville. Kemptville Creek was terrible, too.

I had to take hubby into the city, we stopped at the locks to watch the birds. There were lots of geese, a few mallards and mergansers in the frigid water.

These people have very flooded basement. It's so sad. They have sandbags below the basement window on the left.
