State of Emergency

[agstar77]

Mb declared state of emergency over flooding. Hoop and holler again an option. Bad news for those in that area.

They've made the decision to breach hoop n holler again. Bad news indeed.

Assiniboine River Valley west of Brandon must already be beyond a diasaster.

Severe weather forecast for tomorrow night.

Were the farmers in MB that were intentionally flooded out by their government in 2011 properly reimbirsed??

I seem to recall they were ripped off.

[Braveheart]

These are the same people about to get flooded. I don't remember them being adequately compensated.

The Manitoba forecasters don't learn from their mistakes. They failed to forecast the 2011 crest and now they have underestimated this years crest. Apparently there is a lack of computers to calculate the flow from a given rainfall.

I thought when the Mb g'ovt cut that berm or highway a year or two back only a half dozen quarters were flooded, and it did little to ease the flooding on the other side. Wasn't it a complete failure, and a huge waste of money?

[agstar77]

yes but it looked like they were doing something , did not learn anything. Caused stress for those affected.

Water flow volumes are greater now since a lot of us know how to ditch. Does anyone know how the farmers North and West of Lampman are doing? All the water came down on them in 2011 and it had no where to go. Some fields had 12 feet, Whole yards flooded, I was told.

Severe weather in Red River Valley right now. Agstar, are you anywhere near those tornadoes?
