That is sad. how far from your place Mike?
We haven't had any lightning issues but have lost 3 retards to the flood. We are getting close to seeing 1 st St again 3 blocks from my place but still >8' till the Assiniboine is back in it's banks. All that water from Saskatchewan still needs to flow through this part of the province on it's way into Lake Manitoba and people are dumb enough to play around these high waters and extreme currents.A 58 yr old woman lost control of her ATV 45 min. north of here,knocked a 31 yr old fisherman into the current below the dam and then died on impact with the dam a week ago. This past weekend a 21 yr old man fell out of the boat fishing south of here ( where the worst of the rain has been). The news today didn't mention when they finally found the body, but it was obviously only just recently.
about a hours ride with traffic, I was home and we had some close loud striked also
