Ice Dam in Saegertown causes concern for Meadville

An ice jam near Lupher's Landing just off Route 19 south of Saegertown caused alarms to be raised in towns downstream on French Creek. Meadville emergency services were put on alert as the massive blockage continued to grow.

It was ice as far as the eye could see, and the popping and cracking made eerie noises near the creek area.

Residents along the creek were advised to watch for rapidly changing conditions and rising flood waters in the area immediately behind the ice dam.
