How High Is The Water Going To Go?



The Morris River continues to rise in Morris, Manitoba and the main bridge into the city on Highway 75 remains closed off by a dike Monday, April 25, 2011. (David Lipnowski / THE CANADIAN PRESS)

WOW. The flood is getting really bad. I put the above pictures on because they really show how high the water is getting. It is crazy to think that people are still driving down the highways when you can't tell where the road is and where the ditch is.One wrong twist of the stirring wheel and you are in a ditch full of water. Basically a lake  and you could be potentially dead. I don't see how people would take the risk. It is a lot of extra miles to go around since you need to go through Morris and other places. But I would do that to ensure my safety. That water has current and can pull you off the road. All I can say is those people driving through what could be a lake are gutsy. I have also read that 1,700 Manitobans have evacuated their homes.That is a lot of people and this flood is effecting even more then that. It is sad that some of those people may return to a ruined home. Mother nature can sure be a pain sometimes!
