A new threat...Melting snow!!!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

Well, we know it would happen.

With all the extra snow and moisture this year and with a fast thaw...we are going to have floods.

Many right now are caused by ice dams.

For the average person there is not much we can do...but prepare.

Flooding will interrupt electrical services and more.

Set aside fresh water and non-perishable foods.

If you are in the flood area and likely to be flooded...GET OUT NOW!

Don't wait until you are swept away to call for help.

Every year people are caught in an emergency that could have been much less so with just a bit of planning.

Get Smart...Prepare!

And not all those water puddles you may step in are shallow. Potholes are all over the place this year

We dont see that much flooding on our side of the river, but you folks in Mn and the Dakotas seem to get more than your share, stay safe.

It doesn't seem fair, William.  First the problems with the snow falling and then later more problems with it melting.

Bill, we have a small stream in the back that if the ice jams up it floods the area right behind the barn.

I am lucky that I won't be bothered by any of this...but I know many who will be.
