Really, GVW?


Imagine residents' utter surprise--after what seems like three days of torrential downpours (monsoons, according to some folks)--when they saw this sign at the base of Coldstream Estates:


There's even an evacuation alert for two homes along Duteau Creek's spillway.

And there's more.  Flooding in Vernon,  Armstrong, plus naturally, Lumby is very concerned.
Basically, anyone living in low-lying areas.

"Three days?" questioned a golfer this morning, adding "it's been raining on and off for 6 weeks."

Yup, it has.

Here are photos of Coldstream Ranch's "lake" taken this morning just south of the golf course...note the flooded creek (along the cottonwood/willow trees, and the field beyond that...toward Highway 6.




The latest round of thunderstorms arrived last night, looking very ominous indeed:




"Strange to hear the quacking of ducks in this dry valley," Kia would've said.

Even more strange to see the GVW sign.
