... Flood Warning for melting snow remains in effect for Dickey...
McIntosh... LaMoure and Logan counties until 600 PM CDT Saturday...
Several roads have been washed out or covered by water due to
blocked culverts and drainages. Elevated water levels were observed
Thursday morning on the James and Maple rivers... in addition to Bear
Creek.
Additional snow melt and runoff is forecast today... likely causing
additional water level rises across the southern James basin in
North Dakota. Residents should take note of creeks through their
property... in addition to remaining snow to determine their flood
risk.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Most flood related deaths occur in automobiles. Do not attempt to
cross bridges... dips... or other low spots if water covers the
roadway. Never try to cross a flowing stream... even a small one... on
foot or in a vehicle.
In hilly terrain... there are hundreds of low water crossings which
are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to travel
across flooded roads. Find alternate routes. It only takes a few
inches of swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles away.
