Original Toronto Star caption: The swirling floodwaters of the Credit River near the foot of Willow Lane in Meadowvale don't upset some of the residents; even when their basements are awash and their driveways are buckling. If they were to fix it up somehow; it wouldn't be worth living here because they'd spoil it for sure; Mike Logan; a sports equipment salesman; said even while he manned pump and raked debris from around his house. His water-loving part-Labrador had a swim.
