Stewart Flood Watch

That is what they are calling it, but so are the town seems safe, cut off from the rest of the world, but safe. 

I just wanted to post on here for friends and family who are following the situation here. 

They are saying that we have had 10 inches of rain so far for in the month of September.  This has caused major problems in our little community.  Some of the industrial sites in town have flooded there is standing water everywhere and I know there are a few wet basements too.  So far our home has remained nice and dry. It stopped raining early Friday and the last 2 days have been beautiful weather wise, so much of the standing water has gone down.

The major problem is that the only road into and out of town has been washed out by the rain waters overflowing the creeks and riverbeds in the area.  One of the bridges also gave way to the incredible force of the water and let loose.  It is going to take a considerable amount of time to repair all the damage to the road and get us reconnected the rest of Canada.  In the mean time the town is making plans to have food and fuel brought in on barges.

Here are just a few pictures of some of the rain and water sitting on Thursday morning, and remember it rained all day Thursday so things did get worse before they started to improve.
