Hi there, I live in South Windsor and was one of many who were hit the hardest by the floods on Tuesday and Wednesday. We caught people going through our contaminated items and taking them. Please be careful what you buy on some of these facebook site's and kijiji cause there are people stealing from Windsor flooding victims. Picking out of the garbage bins and off the side of roads. They could be selling these items for there own gain. These items are contaminated with sewer and other things in the flood water.

As I'm lugging my flood damaged belongings to the curb yesterday some guy pulls up and starts looking at my stuff and asking how long it was in water, how deep ect. I even said to him, come on man you seriously going to be rummaging through my stuff at a time like this?!?! He took some wood and left. I was so appalled I put a sign on my pile no scavengers. So then last night arround 3 am and I hear some car doors closing, I look out and see his car driving away and things are now gone. I get it, I did leave wet musty, soon to be mouldy items that are obviously garbage to me now on my lawn. But have some compassion, it's hard enough dealing with all this mess and my belongs and memories are lost, without having people rumaging through for their own gain.

So last night I hauled all of our flood (Sewage water) stuff to the side of the road, it took hours of hard work to clean and bag up neatly for pick up, there where lots of soaking wet smelly clothes and some toys things like that. Well someone thought it was a good idea to rip those bags apart and take what they wanted and leave the rest for me to clean this morning. What the hell is wrong with people. Not just my house either, they went through all the people on my streets garbage and just threw it around trying to find stuff they wanted. I honestly hope these people get the plague from wearing contaminated clothing!! (Ok maybe I dont but I am so mad!!) Try to be considerate. We just had to clean up our belongings and toss them out, we have to pay to repair damage and now we all get to take the time to clean up another stinky mess. Watch what you buy from Kijiji people!! I have a feeling its going to be blowing up with "deals"

So Im sure everybody remembers the rainstorm the other day. I know my husband and two daughters sure do. Because we got caught in the worst of it. Our truck stalled in the middle of the lake that had formed on Dominion Boulevard, and we were sitting there for almost an hour, blocking traffic, with hungry kids (we had been on our way to get lunch). Now, I understand that its tough driving out in that weather. Its stressful. But you would not believe the number of large trucks that passed us by, who could have quickly and easily pulled us out, or even pushed us off to the side of the road so that traffic could get by a little easier. But no. Everybody was way too concerned with themselves to bother with a stranded family. Im just thankful my husband was with us, as he is the one with a cell phone. If I had been out driving, just me and the kids, that day, Im not sure what we would have done

Yes, there's a witness. If you reported it to the police when the idiot hit your truck with the contents of his grocery bag, good for you, and if you need someone who saw it as a witness, I'm available.

I'm all about the new trash rules to help control rodents- but when the city experiences flooding like yesterday- you'd think they'd have their waste management make exceptions to remove any additional garbage that may have occurred after water got into so many basements? This is what my front yard looks like after garbage has already gone by! Clearly you can see the rolls of wet carpet in the bags. Not cool City of Windsor.

Do I say more?

To the person that hit and killed our dog Sun August 27, 2017 around 1:30pm on Rossini. How could you be so heartless not to stop after you hit him? Do you not have a conscience? I get that accidents happen but you could've had the common decency to do the right thing and at least knock on someone's door.

To the man that did stop and come to our house to find the owner and to let us know what happened, thank you for having a heart. Also thank you to the concerned lady that stopped and thank you to our neighbours.
