Pace on Earth

The Rising

So last night the rain came and came in buckets. Fredericton saw good steady rainfall but the Northern part of the province saw even more. The thing is that it all ends up in the same place (at least on the West side of NB). So the experts are now expecting flood levels to exceed the levels of the Great Flood of 1973.

I'm really not sure what this means for my place but I am hoping that we are just high enough that the basement will stay dry. The ramps to the Westmorland st. bridge are filling up and they expect it to lead to major traffic snafus come morning. Who knows it could mean that flood day will replace the snow day as schoolchildren's favourite day.And who knows maybe the next time the snow falls some smartass will use the line "At least you don't have to pump it out of your basement".

Pace out.
