Heavy rainfall causes flooding for Mount Morris residents
MOUNT MORRIS, N.Y. (WROC) – Heavy rainfall across Livingston County caused many residents to experience some major flooding, including those at the Mint Trailer Park in Mount Morris. Luckily, no major damage was done to any of the park's homes, but debris covered the roadway and the creek bank. Christopher Preston Sr., a park manager, was onsite cleaning up the loose branches and rock. He says the majority of the debris came from a beaver dam in the creek. The water broke through the dam, sending sticks and logs into the resident's yards. One neighbor living right near the bank, Susan Guess, tells me that due to the water erosion, the creek bank behind her home has been slowly creeping in, leaving her in a dangerous position. 'We have no land left,' she says. 'When we moved here, it was nothing like this. I could mow down there, our picnic table was down way lower, and now the water keeps undercutting and we keep losing bank.' With storms like these bringing potential flooding, Susan worries about the future of her home. 'I'm just afraid that some night I'm going to be sleeping, and I'm just going to go straight into the creek,' Susan explains. 'I don't think we have many more next ones according to my property, we're in a dire situation right now in my opinion.' She's not the only one worried about her property though. 'Their great people down here, you know,' said Preston Sr. 'They help each other when they need it. So whenever there's a flood risk, I'm always concerned about these guys.'
