Yeah, I lived in Winnipeg for 50 years, finally escaped the day after my 50th bday, never looked back. Remember plenty of floods over the years, somewhere I should have some pics from East Grand Forks N.D. after the flood of '97 when the area was wiped off the map. My house at that time backed on to what was a quiet little stream normally, but became a lake in short order. I paddled my canoe over my fence and across the neighboring golf course at the height of that one. I was fortunate that my house was well above the "normal" river level and was never really threatened, but a great many folks were not so lucky.
