Manitoba Spring Floods





We went for a drive today.  My husband has been keeping up very well with the news on the flood situation.  So when we had a free afternoon, and not much ambition to do the needed housework, we decided to go for a drive and see how things really looked outside of our "Island of Oaks" (Ile des Chenes).  The Rat River was no longer the small meandering river we're used to. 


The Red River at Morris.


Camping anyone?

Washed out roads...



Homes & other buildings on islands...


Fields... 
They are still not sure how severe this flood will be.  But Manitoba has water!  Lots of it!
