jdc2000 Posted June 21, 2014 Share #9 Posted June 21, 2014 The story made CNN. I saw some flooded train tracks as well. Maybe your trains will have to take a detour for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted June 21, 2014 Share #13 Posted June 21, 2014 I think your kayaker guy came from here. Last year when we had our serious floods, several people without sense and brains thought it'd be great to try kayaking the Grand River when it crested at 22ft. (4ft above flood stage). I still think the fire department should have charged them for the rescues. Stay safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
