For those of you who may be familiar with the historic Old Fort William in Thunder Bay, these pics may be disturbing.

Historical Old Fort William temporarily closed
SUNDAY, 08 JUNE 2008
Thunder Bay, ON -- One of the key attractions for tourists to Thunder Bay, Old Fort William is temporarily closed. The park issued a statement on Saturday stating, "Challenging water conditions on the Kaministiquia River have forced Fort William Historical Park to close temporarily. An unanticipated surge of water from tributaries feeding into the Kam has inundated the heritage site with roughly two feet of water.
"Flood response protocols have been enforced to ensure the safety of staff and livestock. Water, electrical and gas power to the historic site have been shut off. Flood recovery efforts will commence once the water has receded.
"Further information will be provided as the situation progresses".
There is no word, at this time as to when the park will re-open, or what extent the floodwaters have damaged the park.
