Waves at the bottom of my garden

Awoke to a roaring noise that turned out to be the River Thurso, at the bottom of my garden in full spate. The thaw had turned this usually playful part of the river into a thundering cauldron of brown standing waves that were encroaching into my garden. Quite alarming especially as the hydro pole that carries the electricity across the river was now in the churning mass of water!12 hours later and it is still as noisy as ever. Thankfully my house is up a slope and some distance from the river so I should be able to sleep soundly tonight.
