Flood alerts in effect, evacuations underway in parts of central and northern Alberta


Flooding continues to plague parts of central and northern Alberta, with more evacuations issued in Woodlands County, Mackenzie County and park areas of Grande Prairie. A critical alert due to high water levels and flooding remains in effect for Woodlands County, around 150 kilometres northwest of Edmonton. Six homes were evacuated a few kilometres east of Fort Assiniboine due to high water levels, Woodlands County spokesman Luke Mercier said Sunday morning. Ice jams on the Athabasca River have created the high water levels, which have risen rapidly in the Pride Valley area. Muskoseepi Park and the Bear Creek corridor were evacuated Saturday night in Grande Prairie due to elevated water levels.
