2014 Flooding in Tweed, Ontario

Last Friday we drove to Toronto, passing scenes of river flooding along the way, caused by melting snow and rain.


None we saw was worse than the downtown park in Tweed, Ontario, a town known locally for its colorfully painted fire hydrants.











Water from the Moira River had covered the park and was approaching the motel next door.












(Terry wouldn't be sleeping at night if we had a flooding river running that close to home.)


















We stood at the edge of the parking lot, now under water.











These gates mark the park entrance - for cars, not for boats!

Rivers were still running high when we returned home a few days later. Rain was in the forecast. No telling how long this flooding will last.
