manitoubass2 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 With higher then normal water conditions in the rainy lake/rainy river, we got hammered with downpours and now the water continues to rise. Fort frances, international falls and rainy river have began sandbagging. FN's northwest bay and stanji are also currently in trouble. The township of rainy river looks to be in much danger, the river is feet from the township. More rain forecasted as well. Geez. We are pretty safe/elevated here but i think will go help our friends sandbag in rainy river. Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 The kids are coming with us to help too. Hope it'll show them some lessons 1) helping your friends and neighbours is apart of being human 2) how destructive water/nature can be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
