Yesterday Nunda Township Supervisor-Elect Lee Jennings sent out another robo-call seeking volunteers.
Can anyone identify where this flooded Nunda Township Road is located?
[Jennings identified this as Rawson Bridge Road near the Broken Oar. When he emailed me, he said the water was higher on Monday morning.]
People are needed for both heavy lifting and tying up the bags of sand.
On Sunday, April 21, the Fox River was still rising as of 1:15 PM at the McHenry Dam. The water is at 7.36 feet, above the record of 7.2 feet.
Here is Jenning’s plea for help:
Lee Jenings
Where the Bay Road Nunda Township Office complex is located.
“Even though the rain has stopped, the Fox River continues to rise.
“Nunda Township still needs able bodied volunteers to help operate a sandbagging program to assist our residents affected by the flooding.
“We will not stop until the river crests and the flooding begins to subside.
“Please join us this weekend from 8:00 am until 9:00 pm Saturday and Sunday at the Nunda Township Highway Department located at 3518 Bay Rd. in Crystal Lake.
“Even a few hours of your time will help tremendously.
“If you are in need of sandbags or for more information, please contact the Nunda Highway Dept at 815-459-4410.
“Thank you.”
That road looks like Rawson Bridge Rd down Cary/Island Lk way.
I was thinking Wright Rd in Burton’s Bridge.
I agree with MUG, it’s Rawson Bridge Rd., along the river next to Broken Oar Bar, unincorporated Cary, Nunda township.
Yes it’s Rawson bridge rd. for sure.
I drive that way every day.
Yes, that is Rawson Bridge Rd down the street from the Broken Oar.
My husband and I own the house right there at 701 Rawson Bridge Road.
We are so grateful for all the volunteers and for Nunda Township for all the help with sandbagging.
We came within a few inches of the water entering our house, we are so lucky it did not come in and it only filled up our yard with 2-4 feet of water.
We are anxiously awaiting the river to recede so we can start clean up and mold control.
Thank you soooooo much and God bless the volunteers in our community!
We couldn’t have saved our house without you! 🙂
