As you may know a flood watch and warning is in place for Sunset Bay until 7pm Friday.  Significant rain is expected along with a lot of ice melt.  

Right now, there is flooding from melt and rain in all the usual low areas… yards, drainage ditches and parts of the roads.   The pond and creek are high.  GOOD NEWS - it’s not super windy.

The Town Highway Dept just informed me the access road has just been opened up.  

The town expects a significant push of water and ice down the creek as the day continues.  This will eventually cause our creek to rise and push out to the lake.  As the lake is open hopefully any flooding will come up quick and then go down just as quickly. 

During the week the town opened culvert pipes and catch basins from the ice packed snow in flood prone areas to prepare for this melt and rain.

Stay safe, don’t drive through flooded areas.
