Tropical Storm Bill has dumped inches of water on Jackson County and many streets and roads are flooded and impassable.
In the city of Ganado, Mayor Clinton Tegeler has asked that people stay off the streets due to the flooding. There are reports of more than 12 inches of rain falling there in the past 12 hours. Tegeler said homes and businesses are getting water in them when vehicles drive past. It is reported that Devers Creek Park is under water.
Streets in Edna are flooded as well, with reports of more than 8 inches falling in some areas. Dry Creek is over its banks and the Children’s Park on Pumphrey is flooded. The Hwy. 59 exit by the post office was also under water.
In the county, we have reports of areas of Hwy. 111 that are flooded. CR 246 at FM 2982 is under water, as is CR 1157. CR 112 by Lost Bridge is also closed. We will be updating information as it becomes available.
