Water is creeping toward flood levels on Seneca Lake, prompting warnings in Geneva, New York, according to WHAM.
Officials say the lake has already passed its action stage and now sits just inches below flood level after a wet March packed with snow and rain. Crews are monitoring storm drains and infrastructure as conditions remain unstable.
Some residents aren’t worried, but others say they’ve never seen the water this high. City leaders urge people to avoid roped-off areas and prepare nearby homes as they hope levels drop in the coming days.
