Rising River

Yesterday was the official first day of summer. So you can see by this picture of the North Saskatchewan River here in Edmonton that we have had a lot of rain this spring so the level of the water is quite high.
Fortunately we have not had any of the flooding that southern Alberta as experienced over the last couple of days.
We do know a number of people who had to evacuate their homes but fortunately they are all safe. Some have been allowed back into their homes today while others are still most likely a number of days away yet before they can go home
Thanks for keeping those people in your prayers

Lovely scenic. That's about some people having flooding problems in your area. Our rain seems to have stopped here for now and we have been fortunate to not have any flooding. I hope it doesn't turn the other way and turn into a drought here.

Wasn't that flooding in Albert crazy...can't believe the state of Calgary! Have a cousin that lives there...thank goodness he wasn't affected. You also seem to have a bit of high water too.

[bkb in the city]

@batavia This is the highest it has been in a long time. I am glad your cousin was not affected by the flood

[Diane]

Floods are so scary. The Mississippi River is high this spring, too, but so far no flooding. Hope the water goes down soon and everyone is safe.

[Kathy Rhinehart]

Very nice shot! Hopefully by now everyone is back in their homes.

[bkb in the city]

@eudora Well Diane glad to report that the floods have passed and now it is time for those affected to clean up

[bkb in the city]

@mccombms Thankfully everyone is now back home
