New Brunswick residents of flood-prone areas in should be checking their properties in case anything needs to be moved from the yard or basement
New Brunswick officials are advising people in flood-prone areas of the province to pay attention as the water levels of the Saint John River are on the rise.
“The generators are running at max, and that’s a pretty good sign of how things are trending,” he said in an interview. “In the five-day forecast it’s going from a little over 81,000 cubic feet per second up to 126,000 cubic feet per second.”The Saint John River, which runs through western New Brunswick, starts in northern Maine and heads south to the Bay of Fundy. It is fed along the way by a large number of other rivers and streams. Numerous communities and farms are located along the river.
“People need to stay off the ice,” he said. “The flows show the water is starting to move quite quickly and that’s usually a sign that the ice is rotting and will be releasing at some point in the near future.”There was little flooding across the province over the last two years, following several years of severe floods, Downey said, adding that if the snow and ice melt slowly, the province should have another good spring.
