Roads Flood in Muldoon Area

The Muldoon area has seen over 10 inches of rain in three days. Flooding is all across the area. Do not cross flooded roadways. Not only could you wash off the road, but there could be road damage you can’t see under the water stranding you in your vehicle.

Ranchers in the area are feeding and are out on the roads in all of the weather keeping their herds fed. Slow down on the slick roads and give them some room to maneuver when they have to move hay or feed.
