Perth Andover Looking A Little Better For Now

Good news for Perth Andover: despite widespread fears of serious flooding, the water levels went down 18 inches overnight.

The town has been ravaged by floods in the past and according to public communications officer Justine Waldeck, they're simply hoping that the giant ice floe above Grand Falls stays put for a few more days.

They might see an influx of floes down the river today, but so far it's not looking like they'll have to call for mandatory evacuation. So far, 45 units including homes and businesses in low-laying areas were evacuated on a voluntary basis.
