Blow up the ice!!! How hard can it be? I can't believe they've allowed it to go this bad:
Nechako ice jam doubles to 11 km
Becky Rynor, Canwest News Service
Published: Friday, January 25, 2008
The Nechako River ice jam pushing its way through Prince George has doubled in length since Saturday, prompting the Red Cross to launch an emergency appeal to help residents forced out of their homes by flooding.
"There's going to be a significant financial need," said Red Cross spokeswoman Christine Finnerty.
"This is having an impact. Some people may be out of their homes for another couple of months."
