Ice Jam and Flooding on Muskegon River
February 21, 2009
Stanwood - Big Rapids Police have confirmed that an ice jam on the Muskegon River has posed a flooding threat to homes along the river. Police say that they have offered Red Cross assistance to anyone that feels they need to evacuate their homes. So far, no one has taken them up on that offer.
Police say that there have been reports of basement flooding in the area.
Stanwood resident Stan Karwoski says that it has been an on-going problem with the river rising and falling. He said that Saturday morning it rose pretty high. He took pictures from his home in Stanwood.
Karwoski's home is on higher ground. The pictures show flooding that is happening to homes on lower ground adjacent to the Muskegon River.
