Residents along the Grand River in Dunnville, Ont., have been asked by the OPP to leave their homes while authorities try to deal with ice jam-related flooding that is lapping up against some local residences.

Norfolk County OPP Const. Mark Foster told ctvtoronto.ca that the flooding has been caused by an ice jam that has occurred on the Grand River between Dunnville and Port Maitland, about four kilometres southeast of Dunnville.

Dunnville

Grand River, Ontario Dunnville is a picturesque community of 12,000 people located along the Grand River on Highway #3, between the Niagara and Hamilton regions, and less than an hour away from the U. S. border. It is located near the mouth of the Grand River in Haldimand County, Ontario, near the historic Talbot Trail.

The Chronicle

"It’s like watching a hurricane coming. You know it’s gonna hit and you know it’s going to cause lots of damage, but there’s nothing you can do about it," said Laurie Garbutt as he and his neighbours watched giant sheets ice leading a glut of water flow toward their homes along the Grand River in Dunnville. Cayuga and Dunnville were particularly hard hit as melting snow and ice jams caused flooding along the 300 km. long waterway.

Don Thompson watches as the Grand River flows into his backyard and toward his home on Main Street in Dunnville. Some of his trees, a greenhouse and shed were destroyed by massive ice sheets and his boat was broken from its dry mooring and driven into the greenhouse. Many others along the river suffered similar damage.
