So for those of you who don't follow me on Twitter or Facebook, this will be the first you're hearing of this (potentially). For the past week, much of Northern Ontario & Northern Minnesota has received a record amount of rainfall.

I'm glad you're safe.

That is an INSANE amount of water...

Yeah I should try and post some of the photo's that have been taken/I took today... It's insane that water can actually do some of the damage that it has...

I'm glad you're ok.

Have they started any relief funds of any sort? I'd gladly do fic or something for a donation and donate some money myself to help out.

Thank you!!!

I'm not entirely sure if they have yet or not, I've got a few feelers out currently to find out. My guess is going to be donations through your local Red Cross, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'd love if we could get something going and make a contribution to my community <3 I'll keep you posted!!!

Thank you bb <3 We're doing the best we can on our end currently (The flooding is actually minimal on out end of town, but it's catastrophic in other areas).

You kinda think that these things will never happen to you... Until they do...

Is it common for those areas to get that much rain?

Wow, that sucks. I'm happy that you are okay though. *hugs*

Honestly, no... Northern Ontario is a weird climate. Super cold during the winter, moderately warm during the summer... This year has just been a disaster for weather.

Thanks hun! *hugs* I'm fine personally, just worried about structural damage to our condo, but everything seems fine otherwise.

Huh. That is weird.

That's good. :) It would not have been good if they had you evacuate.

Late comment is late. XD
