Flood Notes From Clay Village March Flood Peak
The Clay village reports a high flood eclipsing last year with only a few feet shy of 1901 levels. Visitors from Toronto viewed the torrential waters as dozens of houses flooded basements and drifting timber marked the scene. A man in distress near the root maran area was rescued and two others found nearby. Town residents cope with water, power outages, and school closures while officials and townsfolk assist, repair, and observe the flood’s impact on daily life.
