Flooding in Richelieu Valley (John Mahoney - The Gazette)Well I am back. It was an absolutely splendid two weeks in North Carolina. The weather was as perfect as I have ever had on the Outer Banks, but now back to reality.
Prime Minister Harper is scheduled to tour the flood ravaged Richelieu Valley today under sunny but humid skies. It is hoped he will bring news about Federal help and financial assistance for the clean up effort as well as infrastructure repair. Temperatures will be around 25C but humidex levels are on the rise. High pressure will pump warm humid air north for most of this week before a front cools things off and dries the air out by Friday. Temperatures will rise to near 30C mid week with humidex reading in the high thirties. Spotty showers are possible each day in southern Quebec and Ontario with the greatest threat coming Thursday along the cold front. Lake Champlain and the flood region remain at about 102 feet or 2 feet above flood stage. The good news is with the dry weather of late the water is slowly receding after six weeks, and clean up is slowly starting. The Richelieu River fell by almost 10cm (4 inches) yesterday alone.
