Big Cliff Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Sturgeon Lake is easily 2' above normal right now. The point over at the marina is under water right now, I haven't seen that in the 12 years we've been living here.
Raf Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 its crazy folks out on huron/gbay have no water at their docks / water intake pipes and the inland lakes are overflowing.
The Urban Fisherman Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Same out this way - smaller lakes are high, ponds and creeks have all blown their banks and longpoint bay is lower then I've ever seen it!
SirCranksalot Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 its crazy folks out on huron/gbay have no water at their docks / water intake pipes and the inland lakes are overflowing. Give it time. Water runs downhill!
Rich Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Great lakes' aquifers are being bottled up for you to conveniently buy as nestle pure life. Inland lakes are safe..... For now.
Sinker Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 The problems happen when all that water gets to the great lakes. Then its gone forever! S.
mr blizzard Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Just watching the news Huntsville and Bracebridge encountering some flooding as well, have had lots of rain by the sounds of it.
irishfield Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Hwy 11 is closed both directions at Muskoka Road !
NAW Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Talking to some folks that where driving from out Ottawa way toward my place. And they had a few detours because of closed roads. All due to flooding.
206 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/storm_watch_stories3&stormfile=Flooding_prompts_state_of_emergency_in_Huntsville__Ontario_19_04_2013?ref=ccbox_homepage_topstories I'm also being told Bancroft is currently under water? Stay safe anyone in these area's!!
Nipfisher Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Hwy 11 is closed both directions at Muskoka Road ! How did you get your truck at that angle? LOL
dewar Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 ahhh its just a lil bit of water, we need it anyway, just hope it doesn't flow to far south
lew Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Here's a few pics I took at Burliegh Falls earlier this morning. The water is high, fast & furious And sadly, the garbage pigs need to ruin every beautiful spot they can.
4x4bassin Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Just heard a lot of roads in Algonquin Park are washed out including Opeongo Road as well most secondary roads in South Algonquin are either flooded or washed out ! That is a crazy situation up there .
jedimaster Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Bancroft has declared a state of emergency.
jedimaster Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Talked to my cousin the pictures are crazy. The york river is right up to the river bank in town. The water level looks at least 10 feet high in the river. Water is flooding the streets. Its crazy.
Beans Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Here's a few pics I took at Burliegh Falls earlier this morning. The water is high, fast & furious And sadly, the garbage pigs need to ruin every beautiful spot they can. Looks like great water for the kayakers Lew ...Too bad about the garbage though...
lew Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 Looks like great water for the kayakers Lew 50 odd years ago we used to go down those rapids on rubber tubes Norm, don't think I'd want to try that anymore
Rich Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 My aunt lives in Bala and has been putting up similar looking pics on her FB. She is actually stranded at her house on the moon river right now because the road out washed away, and i doubt she'd try boating into town right now!
Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 I have to go up to Bancroft tomorrow, too....
Rod Caster Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) huntsville is completely flooded as well. I guess we fared well in North Bay, even with the huge sinkhole on Hwy 11, all things considered. Edited April 22, 2013 by Rod Caster
manjo39 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Sturgeon Lake is easily 2' above normal right now. The point over at the marina is under water right now, I haven't seen that in the 12 years we've been living here. It got higher today. The Kawartha Lakes website stated that it will keep rising into next week. Edited April 22, 2013 by manjo39
Big Cliff Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Posted April 22, 2013 It did go up more yesterday, perhaps another 3-4". Got my board walk fixed with my son, my neighbour, and I working on it. All sorts of stuff floating around out there yesterday from huge logs to small islands.
lew Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 The water levels don't appear to be as high...yet...as a couple years back. This is a picture I took of the locks at Yonges Point 2 or 3 years ago and you can see the water is right up to the top of the cement wall where the boats tie up waiting to pass thru. And this is the same lock yesterday, the water is probably a foot higher than normal but still alot lower then before. And this is the dam at Yonges Point yesterday. All this massive amount of water heading south thru the Kawarthas has to funnel thru the narrow Ottonabee River from Lakefield down to Rice Lake and it's a real balancing act for those in charge. If they let too much water thru at once they flood the homes on the river, and if they don't let enough thru, they flood the area north.
