.....The Salvation Army Responds To Fort Kent,
.....Maine Flooding
FORT KENT, Maine - The rain-swollen St. John River
crested early Thursday, May 1st. after hitting record
high, forced residents to flee to higher ground.
Rain and melting snow raised the St. John to more
than 30 feet causing widespread flooding.
Hundreds of residents were evacuated, 100 homes
were inundated, bridges were closed as rivers flowed
over them, schools were shut down, and towns were
cut off from one another by flooded roads.
