I checked the webcam - the picture hasn't refreshed since 11.19 today.

But isn't it difficult to live a normal life surrounded by water - for humans and mammals ?? It looks bad! There was seen on the video a White Stork nest and a White Stork there on the nest! The storks of course do not feel so bad. Hm.. :puzzled:

perhaps there are not much fish in the flood water..

That flood is there every year. People have conformed to that I think.
Hope Aivar Ruukel(by the way he gave interview in that video)could tell us.

Many thanks to all people involved in this experiment and who's commitment turned this wild idea into reality!

Aivar - I saw you on TV - see Juta's post!

Thanks, Juta. That was interesting.

WOW.. not only is it flooding but that water is freezing cold too. We see the ice floating round those people in the canoe.. :slap:

Courage,people of Soomaa. :hi:

You wouldn't want to forget your pint of milk at the shop. :innocent:

Good morning!
It seems the cam is working again.

...and the water level is long past last year's highest (orange band, submerged now :rolleyes:

) and steadily approaching the 1956 peak, green band on tree on right hand side.

(Live camera image HERE, in case anyone has lost the URL)

EDIT: band colours corrected :blush:

, thanks, Jo!

Inspecting the bridge?

Jo UK · **Posted:** April 3rd, 2010, 6:09 pm

Where? You mean that underwater bridge?? :laugh:

Kanal 2 showed the flood, such a great picture. Hope to go there next weekend.

I saw that too!
Deeve, do you think it will continue yet on next week?

Jo UK · **Posted:** April 3rd, 2010, 8:32 pm

The water level is much closer to the green mark, this evening.

OK, the place where used to be a bridge.

I hope so. The snow is still melting. I last went there in Febr, I´m quite sure it´ll take some more time to melt it all.

I hope you will take photos and post here then.

It is not an underwater bridge, it is a floating bridge, see picture.
