    We had the pumps on stand by, 1/2” from my basment windows, ground was too frozen to pit dig for pumps. Located Upstream from brantford. Once the surface ice and ground thawed from the warm weather, things settled down for us. This cold snap we are in now is trouble for Brantford if that ice doesn’t break

    Photos from the scene show a dump truck partly in the water on the collapsed bridge in Port Bruce, roughly 25 km southeast of St. Thomas.
    The collapse comes days after heavy rainfall hit the region. At one point, OPP warned that there was the potential for flooding to force residents out of their homes in Port Bruce though that did not come to pass.

    This one gives better idea of how far it fell.

    Wow! Bridge was built in the 60’s. They aren’t saying if the collapse was flood water related, bridge failure, or combination of both. Looks like both of the piers gave way and the center span dropped.

    Bridge picture is crazy. Also makes you think about how many of our bridges were built in the 60's and are likely reaching the the time for extensive restoration or replacement.

    One of my coworkers lives in Brantford and another on Six Nations but both have avoided any flooding. Forecast is calling for more rain this weekend and next week. At least the snow pack is gone.
