This is what 100mm of rain within 24 hours looks like (June 13/08)!
10 days later and water levels are still high (June 23/08).
The results of a mild winter and very dry Spring (April 2010)! They're calling for 3 days of rain starting next weekend.
Walking along the riverbed.
I wonder how long this has been here?
Do you see that brand new, shiny fence in the left photo? Now look at the outflow in the right hand photo. How long do you think the fence will last? Don't forget about the ice flows in the Spring.
