OhioFisherman Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Coast Guard had an ice breaker working the mouth of the Grand river here in Ohio for the same reasons ice jammed up and causing flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerritt Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Just on the news... severe warnings about some areas in dunville.. lots of localized flooding as the ice is flowing from as far as Kitchener..... I would be VERY wary.... On CHCH News as I speak.. the pictures and video look brutal!! I also know what I saw flowing over the Caledonia dam... not a pretty site... Be safe out there folks!!! Many homes,trailers and cottages flooded.... Some with bad damage from the ice flowing down the river..... Hope they had insurance!

Marko Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Grand river in Kitchener is good 5-6 foot higher then normal levels, at least its clear of ice. Be careful out there guys, maybe its better to stay home for few days until river settles down a little bit. Better safe then sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
