Flood warning remains in effect

Flood Warning as of 3:23 am EST on January 26, 2018

A Flood Warning for an ice jam remains in effect until 100 PM EST Friday for south central Kennebec... west central Lincoln and north central Sagadahoc counties...

At 319 am EST, an ice jam remains on the Kennebec river near

Farmingdale. The water level at Augusta continues to fluctuate just

below flood stage. Due to the cold weather, more frazil ice is flowing downstream and accumulating in Augusta. People living and working along the river from Augusta downstream to Hallowell and

Gardiner should remain alert for rapidly rising water. Remember that ice jams are unpredictable and can form and shift with little if any warning.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood

deaths occur in vehicles.
