Thoughts and prayers to those affected, be safe.

The flooding is expected to get worse downstream from Brantford later today, in places like Cayuga and the Six Nations reserve.
Reports of flooding stretched across southern Ontario, including London, Waterloo, Cambridge, Dunnville, St. Marys, Chatham-Kent and Orangeville.
Officials said ice is blocking water and forcing the heavier flows to find ways around the jams.

Boy swept away in river

Dufferin OPP said that just before 1 a.m. ET, a female driver passed a roadblock put in place because of flooding. Her van was swept into the river near Orangeville. As the woman was exiting the vehicle, the child slipped out of her arms. The mother was taken to hospital.
The intensity of the fast-moving river swept the vehicle downstream about two kilometres toward a bridge at Line 109 and Tenth Line to its resting point.
Nancekivell told CBC News that "it's an ongoing police investigation." He said the OPP are searching for the child with a helicopter, a dive team, a drone and other search-and-rescue responders.

It's no Grand River, but little stream that runs through my parents place is not so little.





Feel really really bad for the woman in Orangeville, I can't imagine how horrific that must of been. Dark, cold, foggy, missed the road closure sign, 1 in the morning ...what a nightmare.

Came away thinking the same thing Don.

Saw the news about the boy yesterday and was hoping they would find him safe but hopes are dim now. This has been going for a few days now but seems to have been low on the radar initially but there have been states of emergency called at the city level.
