+chris-mouse Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Looks like the remnents of hurricane Isabel are due to pass over southern Ontario friday. the forcast is calling for a LOT of rainfall, something like 50-75mm of it in the Toronto area. that's almost certain to cause some flooding of the creeks. Anyone who's got a cache anywhere near water should probably plan for a maintenance check some time next week. I know of a few caches in the GTA that are probably going to be underwater by saturday. One of my caches is about 10m or so from the Humber River, and I'm thinking it just might get wet, even though it's a good 2-3m above the normal water level. Quote Link to comment
+biltal Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Good point. I know of one cache on the Don River that might be in trouble. High winds may be a hazard to the many caches hidden in hollow standing trees as well. I can think of at least two of those within a few miles of my house. I'd say any cache hidden in or near a ravine should be checked over the weekend, if possible. I'm begining to see first bit of cloud rolling in as I type this. Check this URL for good, near realtime, satellite images of the storm. http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/goeseastconus.html Quote Link to comment
gm100guy Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 If you find any of my families caches floating down a creek can you place on higher ground and send me the waypoint so I can pick it up. TIA Good post and I will need to check some of our caches this weekend. gm100guy http://members.rogers.com/gm100guy/cachepage.htm Ontario geocachers http://groups.msn.com/GeocachinginOntario/homepage Quote Link to comment
