At least in this particular neighbourhood, the Ottawa River has risen above the sandbag wall.

We're expecting the Ottawa River to crest on Wednesday. Maybe. We're also expecting snow on Wednesday, changing to ice, changing to rain for the rest of the week - which means that if it does crest, it'll stay at that level for a while.
And in a decidedly not funny example of irony, a house surrounded by water caught fire.
