An ice jam caused by warming spring temperatures near the village of Buckland has left most of the town underwater and cut off access to the airport road. Residents of the village of about 400 people are preparing to evacuate by boat if water levels continue to rise.
High water posed safety hazards and resulted in the removal of boardwalk but also allowed boats to go further up river than usual.
Warm water temperatures may be causing stress and increase the risk of infections and other illness in fish.
A normal daily river level here is about 46', so we are nearly eight (8') feet above normal.
