Community News: Northfield Emergency Mgmt Team gives update

Dana GrahamThe Emergency Management Team met at 1:30 this afternoon.  Mayor Graham said this on his Facebook page at 2:30:  We should know in the next 6-12 hours when we can expect to crest. But, with another inch of rain forecasted for tomorrow night, it can change. The fact is that the river will stay high for a while. Our storage areas are full and they will eventually empty back into the river. Thank you to all the volunteers who came out, and continue to come out, to help.  The City has cancelled the River Walk Market Fair tomorrow.  The DNR reports the Cannon, Straight, Zumbro, Whitewater and Root rivers are flowing at dangerous levels and need to be avoided.
