carols_stuffAnyone care to see what's going on up here?
These aren't my photos, just for the record. I lifted them from a couple news sites.
The last few nights, after work, my oldest daughter and her husband have been volunteering to sandbag and stop some of the flood waters from the Payette River from doing more destruction and damage in Payette. Last word was there are 20 homes under water, along with multiple businesses. So much better than the 1997 flood. However we're expecting more rain starting tonight and into the weekend.
The first are from Payette, after that is in the Payette forest between Boise and McCall. Word is there are only two gates/spillways open on Lucky Peak dam. If they open the third a good portion of Payette will be under 3-4 feet of water.

I am very concerned with this hot spell pushing into the Pacific NW Friday that there is going to be a lot more flooding from melting snow pack.
It is one thing I positively HATE about this area.......cool and rainy one day and blistering weather the next. There is no transition as there was when I was in Sacramento
I am a mess as far as my FMS and not tolerating the barometric changes.....e.g today it was mid 70s and very muggy. Now we are heading into cool and rainy tomorrow.........and next day. Then the blistering weather, could hit 90.

Date: 2010-06-09 04:46 pm (UTC)The rain is hitting everywhere it seems. There has been some basement flooding here in southern Manitoba and the threat of tornadoes on a couple of occasions (extremely rare here) but not flooding on the scale your pictures showed.
We DO get flooding like that in the spring along the Red River as it flows north through the Dakota's and into our province but like you, we have floodgates and we also have a ring dike that surrounds the city and allows water to bypass for the most part.
It's scary what Mother Nature can do isn't it? Impressive, but scary.
Good Luck!
