Flash floods from an ice jam in Jordan, Minnesota have affected 300 homes and forced many people to evacuate on Thursday night, according to KARE 11.
KARE 11 reported that the Jordan Police Department asked residents not to drive in or out of Sand Creek because of dangerously high floodwaters. The Jordan Police Department is also helping remove ice dams from Sand Creek, WCCO reported.
Authorities told news outlets that as of Friday morning, floodwaters were a foot high in certain places. Over 40 people were brought to a shelter at Jordan High School, and another 15 were brought to shelter in a community center, according to KARE 11.
Stranded residents were picked up by first responders driving school buses through the floods, KARE 11 reported. No one was injured in the floods.
