Severe Spring Flooding in Several Places

"A combination of melting snow, ice jams and recent heavy rain sent rivers swelling this week in parts of northern New England, Lower Michigan and eastern Canada. Hardest hit were parts of eastern Canada, where record flood levels on the Saint-Francois River left the city of Sherbrooke, Quebec split in half. Over 600 residents there were urged to evacuate, according to a story in the London (Ont.) Free Press. Another 300 people were forced from their homes in Saint-Raymond near Quebec City, where the swelling Saint-Anne River flooded the city's downtown. Just two years ago, this same area flooded twice, according to a story in The Globe and Mail. Near Canada's Atlantic coast, dozens of homes were flooded in the town of Sussex, New Brunswick. In most of northern New England and Lower Michigan, rivers were either cresting or were falling as of Thursday morning."
In Watertown, New York, there were threats of the St. Regis Falls dam collapsing due to high levels of water than the dam was used to. Luckily, it did not fall.
Lake Champlain in Vermont has inched above flood stage and is a threat to certain properties, roads, piers, and docks in the surrounding area. The Kennebec River in Maine is almost reaching the level of threat that Champlain is.
Lastly, the Muskegon River in Michigan has reached record breaking flood levels and the Wraco Lodge Dam along Wolf Creek just recently failed.
