Cnc Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Wishing the best for folks there. We already went through our spring flood here and the water was dropping nicely but has come up 6 inches again overnight. We are down river from those northern reservoirs via the Rouge river and if it gets raging down it water backs up fast into my lake, but I understand they can and do divert the flow to either the Gatineau or the Rouge. Ether way it is all going down the Ottawa and those poor folks in Riguad could get hit again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water from the north is raging down and feeding the Ottawa River. I tried to share here small footage from facebook at Paugan Dam in Low (Gatineau River). Water flow is terrible.Seems I can't share them. Water level is still on the rise in Maniwaki. 50 cms since yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cnc Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Saw Gatineau on the news and further down river, Regaud, Ile Bizarre, Laval etc are higher than they were during the flooding the other week. Here in Montcalm it has been coming up all week but peaked in the night 2 feet below the high it peaked at the other week but still around two sides of my house. Hoping the rain is not as bad as predicted and they don't start dumping massive amounts of water out of the reservoirs. As mentioned my house can take the water due to the basement design but the other week we emptied my garage and moved it to higher ground when the water was getting closed. Just put it all back in the other day. I don't want to have to do that again. It seems like I am the Noah of the mechanical world, two and three of everything, big job. Good to hear Gatineau water has been stable for two days. Do you live in Gatineau and are you affected by the flood Mid Range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
