ALL FLOODING HAS SUBSIDED AS OF APRIL 3 2016 THIS BLOG POST GOES FROM THE START OF THE FLOODING AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, AND DOWN TO THE MOST RECENT POST AT THE BOTTOM. It's that time of year again!Photo above from spring 2013 Although early by at least 3 weeks the ice is out on the river and there is a spring flood warning across Muskoka: https://www.facebook.com/examinerbannernews/posts/981113298644236 March 31 morning update: ![]() ![]() ![]() March 31 evening update: The flooding has begun! Since this morning the river has risen quite a bit. As of 8pm, the river is just creeping over Vankoughnet road, just upstream from McCutcheon bridge. Forecasts indicate the rain will continue past midnight tonight and water levels are expected to rise further. The good news is the next few days look like they will be cooler and rain free. Photo above taken at 8pm facing north on Vankoughnet road, just upstream from the McCutcheon bridge. April 1st morning update: Black river rd. looking north just past Clear lake rd. Thompson rd. facing south towards bridge (unseen, just around the corner to the left) April 2nd morning update: No significant change in water levels to report this morning on Vankoughnet rd. We are assuming the same applies for other flooded areas in Vankoughnet. Hopefully this means they have peaked and are on their way down. However, the road closures and conditions posted in the April 1 evening update remain. April 2nd evening flood update: Looks like water levels are on their way down. Existing road closures are still in effect, but the water is receding off the roads. No new photos to show since they would look a lot like the last batch! April 3rd flood update: Water levels are way down and Vankoughnet Rd is water free now. We assume the other roads are the same, but if you have any details on them, please comment below. Unless water levels rise again this will be the last update for the season. |
