The "Once in a Hundred Year Flood" is baaaack! … the very next year! After epic floods obliterated the Saint John River Valley in 2018 … floodwaters again rose to similar levels again this year. This composition shows a couple sitting, vaping in front of Renforth Lighthouse in Rothesay, New Brunswick, as the swollen waters of the Kennebecasis reflect a spectacular and seasonal sunset. Normally, a large walking-strolling park is visible directly in front of the lighthouse but lays submerged at the time of the shot due to the freshet - flood stage level.

This image (from the waterside pov and looking towards the lighthouse) shows just how devastating the flooding is. The entire park having been swallowed whole!
