Flooding in Our Part of Ontario

Ontario has lots of lakes and rivers, and this spring - as in 2017 - water is running high.

Melting snow - lots of it - and spring rains are causing rivers to overflow their banks.

Yesterday we saw the reality of it, as we drove near Carleton Place (half an hour - by car -southwest of Ottawa).

I wonder if those buildings that are partly submerged - or those only a few feet from rising water - are summer homes...

I hope so. I wouldn't want to be living this close to rising water!
