Petticoat Creek

Except for the torrent water this scene does not express enough the amount of rain and flooding going on here. The rain stopped on Thursday for a few hours so I manged to get out and take a few photos. Within thirty minutes after this photo it started again. Lake Ontario is at an all time high which is causing severe damage. Eastern Canada s having devastating flooding especially in Montreal. Homes are being evacuated. More rain is in the forecast.

  1. Great shot with that speedy waterflow. Hope Canada get a grip on all those flooding because the long therm forecast for the weather is not so good seen from the point of the climate change.

  4. That doesn´t sound good at all. It must be very scary for those who have to leave their homes.

  5. Interesting name for a creek. I heard yesterday Lake Erie is up 2 inches which seems like alot for a big lake. Be safe out there with your camera.

  6. Well, I wish you could send us some rain and we could send you some sunshine! It's very dry here and getting worse. I see you slowed down the shutter speed to get that smooth water. Nice! I do hate, hate, hate, all that graffiti, though. Ugh.

  7. This culvert could be a problem over the weekend.

    The flooding is bad up in the Ottawa Valley too- a note in the morning paper says the river's to rise up to 35 cms this weekend before it finally crests. More bad news downstream for Montreal.

  8. I knew they were having these issues in Missouri and Arkansas but, I didn't know about the same thing being and issue up that way. I feel very bad for those displaced by high water.

  10. Love the slower shutter speed, giving the feeling of the water swirling and rushing. I can second Lowell's comment! We really need rain in Florida! Wish we could swap weather patterns for a bit.

  14. Sorry to hear that! I hope you get a patch of drier weather soon so things can get more normal. Our latest storm dumped fresh snow in the mountains - down to probably about 2500 to 3000 feet (750 to 900 meters).
