Reeve George Gray says six homes on the west side of Carman were evacuated and more will “probably’ follow suit.
“The Boyne River is flooding as much water as I’ve ever seen, but it’s the speed of it that’s causing the problems. It’s rising rapidly,” Gray said, adding they are expecting the crest later Sunday afternoon.
“So we’re looking at four to five days of high water in our area.”
Gray said those who are displaced should head to the Carman community hall, where an emergency measures operations centre has been set up.
Substantial sandbagging efforts were underway, Gray continued, and said the local fire department was helping distribute them.
“There’s a lot of roads that have been compromised (by) overland flooding,” Gray said.
“Just be diligent, be very very careful when you’re out travelling the rural roads at the moment.”
