A few high water pics from Burliegh Falls

[lew]

Lots of water flowing through the Trent System now and it could cause even more problems as it increases down stream.

 

I took these at Burleigh Falls earlier today

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is the old bridge and lock at Youngs Point with parts of it completely under water.

Wow that is high. Fished the area lots in the past. Daughter also swam the falls with the locals when she was younger.

[jimmer]

Holy!

[Sinker]

Yep, its coming folks. If your on a flood plain, prepare.

 

We're approaching record water levels in most watersheds right now.

 

Cool pics Lew! Thanks for sharing. It would be cool to see the change over the weekend.

It's too bad the camera doesn't capture the power or size of the waves cause it's actually far rougher than it looks here.

Take a video

Maybe I'll go up in a few days when the waters higher and see if I can figure how to work the video on my camera.

We used to run those rapids on an air mattress 50 odd years ago, course it wasn't quite as rough LOL

 

Thanks for that link chris

Didn't you get some pictures last year? It would be interesting to see how they compair to where it is at right now.

You've got a good memory Cliff.

 

Here's the same place a year ago and it's alot calmer

 

 

 

 

And just for comparison, here it is mid-winter

Consider yourself lucky, any water that is moving that fast here is definitely brown. You probably wouldn't be able to see concrete on the locks if the water was more than an inch or two deep.

[captpierre]

Looks just as bad as last year

 

good thing we had a cold snap

[captpierre]

check this out for the area

Last night I loaded up and dropped about 100 sandbags at buddy of mines place on lower chemong. The water is on his front lawn and won't be long until it's right at his house. Pretty scary stuff.
