The Moose Creek Dam was activated this morning to restrict the flow of water through downtown Fairbanks. It's the first time in six years the flood control project has been activated.
Flooding continues in the Chena, Chatanika and Salcha rivers. Some roads in Two Rivers flooded overnight and are impassible.
Water is still running across Chena Hot Springs Road at 36.9 Mile and may be impassible for some vehicles. Caution is urged. The Chena River is also carrying a significant load of sticks and debris, according to the National Weather Service.
More rain is expected today. Another 1/2 inch could fall over the region before clearing on Sunday
Wow..I do remember when the flood control project was activated in 2008. Yesterday when I saw the river it was almost at the overlook thing downtown. It's supposed to rain again next week too. Ughh..so over it now
