Update: An August 9, 2011 - a USian broadcast person blames Sask. for the flooding.

It will be a long damn time until I visit (or spend $$) in Minot again.

A photo of the valley. This is looking west - that's #18 with #47 at the bottom in front of SRI.

Estevan Flooding - #18 Hwy
Okay, this is fairly unbelievable. #18 Highway just south of the city is under water. The 5+ inches of rain that fell west of here on Friday has moved downstream and has inundated most of the valley.
The scene from the valley rim, a block from my house (click on the pix for larger & clearer, if you want to)

#18 is in the midst of that water

Oh look, of course an SUV is driving through.

Two vehicles; apparently the water is now too high for a regular low car.

All this happened in the past 24 hours. I came through on #18 at about noon yesterday (Saturday). The water is rising by the minute. And, if the water continues to rise, it will compromise the shifts getting into and out of Boundary Power Station, as well as people getting between the city and their farms and communities west. Side roads are flooded and/or washed out.

Estevan Flood Today
These are Larry's photos of the Woodlawn Park 'subdivision' as of this morning. The Souris Valley Theatre, Woodlawn Park and Golf Course are included in this area, but not the city itself (we are up on the ancient river bank a half-mile north or so)

Flooding at Woodlawn Park and Golf Course
Larry Preddy took these pix yesterday afternoon. This is the current state of the golf course. It had dried out after the first bout of flooding. People were golfing AND using their motorized golf carts. But, the season has been post-poned again for a little while.
