About 9 years ago my family made the decision to move form rural Brandon Manitoba out to the country, Not because of the chance of flood (no one was ever concerned about) but for a change of life style. Well, Im sure some of you have a passing glimpse of the news once and a while (I dont think those south of the border hear much about us up here in these matters like we hear about the Mississippi and Red down south) but this is where I lived.
In all the years I lived there, I never saw it this high. Once it was geting up there but not this bad. When I was home for Christmas, the river was frozen about 3ft above the bank. Everyone knew it was going to be bad back in December.
You see all the forrest across the river, I would play there as a kid, the river was when out of flood season was 15 to 20 feet below the bank this park is near.
This light standard, I'm 6'2. the waters up to about where I would have to reach and jump to touch. I spent alot of time in this "park" but it was just a feild back then... Making the river around 25' to 30' above standard.
