I hope that all the people heed the warnings and get to higher ground. The Connecticut River is also very high but so far it has stayed inside its banks.

Last week the water levels were very high already when I crossed the St John River on the transcanada highway. the islands in the river were under water with the trees showing. Fortunately, like you, I'm on a bit of a hill and we aren't near the St. John River, the water levels here are more affected by north east winds and high high tide.

If it's not one thing it's another it seems. I do hope people leave while they can.

It seems that way. They are all evacuting until next week when the levels start to drop then they can go back and reasses the damage.

@Happy2BeMe I feel safe living on a hill, you never risk flooding. We are near two lakes (Como and Lugano).

We vacationed in New Brunswick years ago, and I very well remember the St. John River. Flooding from rivers can be so devastating, and I'm happy you aren't affected. I hope everyone else will be safe and not lose their homes and possessions.

There are quite a few people who have already lost their homes and many more will because the levels are expected to rise until at least Sunday.
