Never build in a flood zone!

The Sturgeon river always floods its banks due to Spring snow melt, this year we had very little snow but allot or rain . So what you see happens every odd year. Our lake is about eight feet higher than normal river levels and this year the river and lake are one.

This happens at a local bridge fairly frequently now where the water comes over the top during the late winter and early spring months, though this image was a particularly bad flood a couple of years ago, the sheer volume of water that can appear seemingly out of nowhere is quite something.



This is what it normally looks like:

Sorry, . Our river is 230 km long and that pic is about 25 km from lake Nipissing where it ends. Yes levels rise fast.

This happens in York several times each year …

The pub in the picture is normally reopened within 48 hours of the water receding.

Wow, the pub must have a musty smell to it year round.

Just checked our lake is still high. About a 3 ' from normal level.
