may the generalised version of god support you on your quest!

I know with your rock hard abs and manly chest hair you are the only person who can take on this quest.

Its time we put your name in the hat for knighting by the Queen. But I fear you would turn it down, because you would want it to be by Mill Creek, and instead of a sword, you would want to cheers a beer as knighted.

Slow and steady Spring runoff all will be just fine.

Gord...You have no idea how much I hope slow and steady actually plays out.
Last year was a breeze, but 2017-18 were borderline oldtrucker was nearly homeless disasters.
.

The thing that sent everything out of control was that massive cloud burst at head waters of Mill Creek.

[Boosted632]

so have you done anything to protect yourself since then, build up the banks build a berm around your property to divert water away or are you just hoping for the best

2017-18 was the worst tear since 1951. Many improvements have been made since 1951.

I'll check with my neighbor next time I see him. His job is snowmobilin' and measuring snow pack. I'll see what he has to say this year.

Are people still living next to a creek that will flood regularly? Aren't we moving people off flood plains lol

[alanjh595]

Sure....so long as it is supported with a bomb shelter.

Just think, another good hot spell will remind you of your
younger days, and a likely glimpse to the future.

Waking up with a soaking wet bed.

I was up Bulman road near shadow ridge golf course Saturday.

Residents are definitely keeping a close eye. I saw more than a couple pieces of heavy equipment working on drainage and building berms. Couple I talked to said it had come up quickly after the rain. I saw 2 or 3 culverts that only had about 6" of room left before the creek would overflow them.

Today is going to be bad. That's all I can say at this point.

[Lady tehMa]

Is this usual or is it closer to the year the lake flooded?

[ferri]

I guess it's time for this too.
