Here some satellite pics in this article of the Windsor-Richmond area down the hill from me.
When ever I refer to “town” this is where I mean. We have very limited retail up the mountain.
The floods this time have surpassed last year and are the worst since 1961

Re: Hawkesbury Floods
Correction, surpassed the 1978 floods but not quite at 1961 floods atm. We are hopefully it’s at the peak. Rain has eased now. Actually have a bit of blue sky today.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Re: Hawkesbury Floods
So last night, because it had been a month since Jess has seen her kids (placement, COVID then floods) we decided to drive around the long way and get them. That way has a slip so down to one lane, contra flow (stop go situation) so the return trip took us 7 hrs.
The river receded much faster than predicted and by 2pm today one lane was open. If we’d waited till today we could have recovered the kids in 40 min![Faceplam (facepalm)](./images/smilies/facepalm.jpeg)
