The flood this year has caused great havoc on homes, many of which in Maugerville are currently flooded, businesses (most of downtown Fredericton is flooded as water has spilled into the roadways), schools (everyone is closed), and of course the wildlife who are trying to get to higher ground.

I thought of you as I watched the news from back home. Have your family moved to higher ground or are they effected?
My family isn't affected at all by this flood .. although it is causing grief for them if they want to drive to the other side of the river or take the scenic route out of town :-).
Other people I know though, are preparing for the worse right now and are evacuating where they are living as they live right in the major flood zone.
This isn't the first flood, nor will it be the last. We're a tough bunch in NB.
Fredericton is drying out.. really dusty city streets tho! Lots of debris from the river too. City workers will be busy for awhile cleaning up.
