With Fox River at Record Height Nunda Township Trustee Says Need for Sandbagging Volunteers “Urgent”

An email from Nunda Township Trustee Mike Shorten:

Urgent… Volunteers still needed

Good Morning,

Despite reports relayed in the media that the Fox River had crested yesterday, the Nunda Road District Employees have seen otherwise and the water has risen overnight and continues to rise.

Volunteers are still needed to assemble sand bags as orders have continued to come in from affected residents.

With sandbags in place and a pump running, this Nunda Township man tries to protect his home from the record Fox River flood.

With sandbags in place and a pump running, this Nunda Township man tries to protect his home from the record Fox River flood. His home is located in Bayview Beach Subdivision in Prairie Grove, just east of Prairie Isle Golf Course.

Operations will continue today at the Nunda Township Highway Department located at 3518 Bay Rd in Crystal Lake and will likely run into the evening. We have been overwhelmed with support from Nunda Residents and people from neighboring communities.

Again, even if you have an hour or two and regardless of your physical ability every person that shows up is a huge help.

  1. We need more rooftops!

    We need more impervious surfaces!

    NOT!!

    Why do we have a County EMS when Townships handle flooding just fine?

  2. Not sure if the water levels are still high, but I have 800-900 bales of new empty sandbags in Dubuque Iowa. (563)-580-7448, anytime.
