More photos from our local flooding disaster going on - from the Roche Percee and Shand areas. I'll return to the regular birdy sort of blogging soon. Meanwhile, I guess I'm as mesmerized by the water levels in the Souris as anyone. Some people who read this blog are originally from this part of Saskatchewan, now living far away. So this is what is going on 'around home'.
Old concrete bridge at Roche Percee (as always, click on pic to enlarge, if you want to)
In Roche Percee
A couple of dogs sloshing along their road
Pallets of sandbags at the ready
Where Short Creek pours into the Souris, just west of Roche Percee
Upstream side
This is the Souris crossing south of Shand Power Plant. There are two super huge steel culverts under the road (both of which are underwater)
Upstream whirlpools where water is sucking through the culverts
Downstream eddies and currents
Along the road south side of river, still south of Shand
Later, I will post some 'before' photos of some of these places, if I can find them.
