Foxboro Flood 2008

Foxboro Flood 2008
By Corey Lablans

As my last year as a photojournalism student at Loyalist College came to an end, a small community, Foxboro, became the focus of national news. A state of emergency was declared as the Moira River flooded the surround low lying areas. Here are a few photographs that have been on my hard drive for all these years.

Warming Weather Fog

Fog on Lake Ontario

Increasing temperatures over the past several days has created a dramatic temperature variation between the lake and the air. Fog overlying the lake made for some beautiful photographs.

Eight cruisers, One suburban street

Police line suburban street

The other day I was washing my car and suddenly heard a series of sirens rushing down Princess Street. By the time I was finished washing my car, several more police sirens went zipping by putting the count at approximately five, my interest had risen; I had to see what was up. Following the most recent car it took me to a subdivision in the West end.

There were a total of eight police cruisers, a paramedic vehicle and an ambulance lining the street. I hung around for a while photographing. The police came out and chatted amongst themselves on the front drive way. Approximately half an hour later from when I arrived most of the vehicles were leaving with a few remaining behind. Not sure what it was but you don’t see eight police cruisers and a police officer holding riot shield in a suburban neighbourhood everyday.
