S.O.L. Flood Report




Road Conditions:

Main Lane - Open. We do not expect Lake of Les 2 to crest over the road unless we get a heavy rain or snow in the immediate future.

The Loop - Drifted and flooded. We do not expect the loop to thaw until around April 13th, then additional waiting will apply for the road to dry to allow any traffic.

Quonset Ave - Drifted and flooded. This road remains underwater and there is substantial snow melt yet to come. Please use alternate route to quonset until further advice. Earliest estimates are at least a couple weeks out before the road is open.

House Street - Open. All roadways in this area are in good spring driving conditions.

---------------------------------
**** Pink areas on the map indicate mass snow yet to melt and run off.
---------------------------------

Lake of Les #1 - We are currently experiencing extreme rising in LOL1, as much as 10 inches in one day with much snow left to melt and run off. On top of the rising waters, we are pumping the areas around the front of the quonset into LOL1, further adding to the rising waters. Expect flooding conditions in the area east and north of the quonset in the next week. Latest estimates have determined that the water WILL reach the quonset, and beyond. Due to the extreme swelling of LOL1, farming operations in that area may be pushed into early June.

Lake of Les #2 - We feel that LOL2 has just about crested, with around 2 feet to go before reaching flood stage and taking out the 'Main Lane'.

A special thank you to the 'Young Lesbian Association' for all your help with the dyking.


All reports are deemed accurate as of April 11th 2009, considering the forecast of no new accumulations of moisture in the next 10 days.

There is still a flood over there i see. You won't get any government help for this i guess?
After all in New Orleans they didn't do anything or was that because of the large amount of blacks there?

Large amount of blacks?? That's funny .. probably true, but funny.

I won't get any government help because I am My own government. It would be nice if more people would take care of themselves instead of always asking for a government handout!!
