We had high winds for three days, constant blowing, with plenty of rain coming down. I'd heard the water was higher than normal. We don't have a lot of high spots and this region is known for its wet tundra. So, a lot of water all around, anyway. Went for a walk south on the boardwalk along the river. Rather frightening the closer I got to the end. The last house was surrounded by the river....
This is looking away from the river to the back of the village. There is a large pond here with an outlet to the river. Many people were having to move their dogs to higher ground. Some sheds had been blown down with walls under water.
Kids and water, nothing better! The water level stayed high for another two days, then subsided.
