New Lake Front
« on: March 11, 2007, 06:29:50 PM »
Well with all this rain I now have Lake Front property. This is not the only area I have also just herd that the south Allouette has just broken it's banks at 232nd street and the bridge on 224th by Horseman's park has now been blocked by the RCMP. Here is a pic of my front yard.


The water is just 10 feet from my front door. I guess I should put the pontoon together for a test run. lol

Well we have water. Now an inch before the garage. The crawl space have almost 2.5feet of water and only 1.5feet to go before we are floating. Already had to rescue the family from the top of the hill. Then you have the stupid people that think creating waves with their trucks is funny. Had this one guy go around three times before I could get at him. Good thing he took off because I would of showed the what the water feels like. The stupid thing is he is driving around in his company truck(Matcon) big white ford f350. I am sure he wont be hard to find  ;D ;D ;D . Placeing a call to his boss in the morning.

well Maple ridge park is now part of the allouette river and you can now film a river runs threw it part 2 down my road. The water has not risen any more in the crawl space which I am sure glad of but boy do I have alot of clean up ahead of me. May have to take a few days off work for the clean up. Then again if the water does not go down I won't be going anywhere anyways. I keep looking for fish but so far no luck. Maybe when the water goes down I will be out searching the pools. lol. At least I still have some sort of hahaha left.

Well it looks like we escaped a major flood in the house. The rain has stopped and the water is going down. Now I just need to wait till it is safe to rescue the wifes car from the top of the hill as she could not make it into the road. The water was so deep it would of stalled and flooded. Next step will be to clean up. That will be tomorrows and probable the next day as well.

South Alouette has flooded 4 times this year. we are at the bottom of 227th and we have never experienced flooding like this. I guess with the snow melt and this rain it was bound to happen. My neighbors who have never had their crawl space flood before now has water.
