Not New Orleans But...

Well, I'm sure my fellow western New Brunswicker's will know what I'm talking about, but what a two day's it's been. Over here in Edmundston, no one was prepared for the flooding that has taken place the last couple of days. My school was closed today but we still had to go work but we were evacuated after an hour of work because we were informed that all government owned buildings had to be closed down. Fredericton has the chance to have all the major Emergency Response Units. It's not been has bad as the provincial capital but some people lost alot of stuff. My grandmother who is unfortunatly suffering from alzeimers disease and now has to travel in a wheel chair was awaken at 11h30 at night to be evacuated from her senior home. Personally I'm safe, the closest river is about a KM away but I can really feel in a way what New Orleans went thru a couple of years back with all the crazyness that has been going on. Note that in normal time, there is no water where the lightpoles are the baseball field is under water. You can see the St-John river on top of your screen, the bridge to go to the USA is the one with the 4 arches on top of the screen. Yes where the smoke comes from, that is Madawaska Maine. You can't really see it right now, but there is a little fall where the river normally is (on your right) and those falls provide electricty to about 5,000 people, the damm right now is under watch and might give under the pressure of the water. Pretty crazy stuff is u ask me, but I get a nice day vacation.
