Off Topic Water level Inner Bay

[Larry Lloyd]

The water level here at Booths is as high as it's been at it's highest, Will go and check the causeway later. The water level is forecasted to drop to normal by 2PM today. Maybe 3ft. out of the bay in a couple of hours. My wife just pointed out that Bait Island is under water.

Was trying to get on the old cut web cam but it wouldn't come up. Some. Of the pictures I've seen this morning are the highest water levels yet.

wow thats terrible..looks like perfect storm conditions.. was that from all the rainfall yesterday & a east wind on LPB..looking like another june spring not gettin to the erie bows..Ya LSC last spring ruined for access..

Was down at the causeway. There had been lots of water on the road but they were letting you drive around the road closed barricade. Very large , strong current flowing through the two large culverts into the marsh on the way out and 10 min. later, nothing, maybe even flowing the other way.

That was a big west wind last night and looks like a few days of light winds so water will recede. Still not very nice to deal with for some

 

[mick]

historically with average water levels brisk east & west winds creates higher & lower water levels LPB..

Took a trip down to check on the cottage and seen all the damage. It’s hard to believe how much water came up and went down that quickly.

Down on the east end the water was up again like last year. Some of the places had water laying in the back yards tho.

This my back yard. The trees are were the creek is and beyond that is Starks Golf Course. The second picture is the cottage across the road from me.

I saw the golf course on my way by heading to the harbour. Never seen that much water there.

What a difference @Bay_Fishing from your photo to my photo when I was there last thursday,january 9,2020. That was sure a lot of rain,melting snow and strong winds!! I wonder what all of the long point area looks like now? Hopefully for the better,and the water level has dropped back down again!!??

If I lived down on The Point I would have my Bug Out Bag packed and ready to go ! History has a way of repeating itself and since settlers arrived two Cuts have been recorded and I would not doubt it has happened before that even. I wonder if the LP Ratepayers and/or First Responders have a plan in place to deal with such an event ?
