Marshall County emergency Management Director Clyde Avery is working to keep the citizens, businesses and industries in the county up to date on the flooding event we are experiencing. In his latest update Avery said, Marshall County remains under a Flood Warning and the commissioners have implemented a “Warning” level travel advisory specifically for roads in German Township.
The Yellow River is currently at 12.53 ft. (4 p.m. Tuesday) and is still forecast to crest at 16.4 ft. by Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. The major flood stage is 15 ft.
The Town of Bremen provided sand bags and personnel to support to a resident in LaPaz who was experiencing flooding issues while the City of Plymouth has sand and sand bags available in the parking lot behind Hoffman Brothers Auto on East Garro Street. The County also has sand and sand bags at the old Civil Defense building on King Road just south of US 30.
