Chatham Ontario Flood Monday February 16 2009:  Due to mild temperatures, snow melt caused the Thames River to overflow it's banks on Monday February 16, 2009.  This led to Flash Flooding in low lying areas such as parking lots and Community Parks.  I went to Chatham to check it out for myself.  The local EMO had the park danger under control.  Local HAM frequencies were quiet because their was no immediate danger to people or property.  Image taken by Ron Mon Feb 16, 2009	Chatham Ontario Flood Monday February 16, 2009:  Parking lot (zoomed in) view of an A1 Shine van.  Not sure why the van was not moved in time. I guess the owner can clean out the van himself! All images are low res for internet upload.  Photo by Ron Mon Feb 16, 2009
Chatham Ontario Flood:  Park Sign Under Water On the corner of 4th St. & King Street.  Looking north towards park under water.  Notice Park sign under water (no swimming/no fishing).  Bottom sign reads: "Walk ways not maintained during the Winter Season".  Image by Ron Mon Feb 16, 2009	Chatham Ontario Flood:  Street Light Under Water This image of a street light almost under water shows the scale of water depth that occurred in Chatham ON. on Mon Feb 16 2009.  I'm guessing the water was 8 to 10 feet deep.

New Hamburg Ontario Flash Flood Dec 28, 2008:  Ice Debris/Chunk Image After the flood waters receded the next day, I drove downstream from New Hamburg.  Along Holland Mills Road, I came upon these large ice chunks that were grounded when the flood waters receded.  They were fairly big, over 2.5 feet thick and around 10 feet in diameter.  I parked my car along side for scale in the image.
