Flooding

Cross-posted story from WWBA

For the third time in less than a year, residents of New Hamburg have been hit by serious flooding of the Nith River. Similar to the flooding in April 2008, the water reached a Level 2 status according to the Grand River Conservation Authority... luckily not as serious as the levels reached in December 2008.

Nith River Flood in New Hamburg - Feb 2009

I've written a quick story for the WWBA on some more recent flooding in New Hamburg along the Nith River.

You can check out my photos here.

I saw a lot of people taking pictures out there. Leave a comment here or at the WWBA if you have some more that you want to share.
