Saw on the news water rushing into a guys bsmt like it was Niagara falls. I hope all the affected are able to manage OK.

Apparently a massive block of ice created a impasse in a river and here we are. They are trying to break up the ice to get the river flowing again.

The spring run off this year is brutal everywhere.

That sucks. Old storm sewers in a lot of places just can’t keep up to the demand anymore.

They said it was the worst flooding since Hurricane Hazel (the actual hurricane, not the mayor).

I hope they get it under control quickly. It's tough on everyone affected.

News feed is showing the roads there being reopened now. Guess that they managed to get the ice jams in the river unclogged.
