Hometown News: Watching the Floods

All eyes are on the Tonawanda Creek after a night of flooding. Runoff from melting snow took the creek past the flood stage of 12 feet. Flooding is still possible in north Clarence, north Amherst, Royalton, and Newstead. That means roads such as Millersport Highway, Tonawanda Creek Road and the Ransom Oaks area could be wet or icy as temps drop. Meantime, our region continued the cleanup of toppled trees, and electric crews worked to restore power from downed lines.
