Ice jams cause flooding near Grand Island
December 27, 2010

Ice jams along the Platte River have caused evacuations of a few homes near Grand Island, Nebraska, and some roads have been closed as a result. The National Weather Service office serving the area thinks that additional ice jams could last for days.

Winter flooding due to ice jams is always a possibility in our part of the country, which is why we recommend that communities always be prepared with flood-fighting pumps, portable dams, and long-term stormwater-control measures so that emergencies don't catch them in a bad position.
