Big Cliff Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share 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!

Rod Caster Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manjo39 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
