King said his home was out of power for about six hours Sunday afternoon. The power eventually turned on around 8 p.m., but his lights have continued to flicker throughout the evening.

“The winds keep knocking the street lights out. I have my generator, though, in case the power goes out again.”

ICE JAMS, FLOODING

The high winds began affecting the Great Chazy River in Mooers around 4 p.m., causing ice jams along the Perry Mills Road and subsequent flooding on Blackman Corners Road.

“The north side of the river toward Canada has about six to eight inches of water flooding the road. The high winds are pushing the ice and water,” Leon Menard, volunteer firefighter for Mooers Volunteer Fire Department, said Sunday evening.

“We’ve closed the road, but it’s nothing too bad. Everything should be fine once the winds let down.”

The National Weather Service predicted the river will continue to rise near 10 feet after midnight until late this morning.

“Perry Mills and Creek Road in the vicinity of Perry Mills will flood, and the water will possibly reach resident homes and partially cover Route 11 south of Perry Mills,” according to the Weather Service.

WINDS TO DIMINISH TODAY

A moderate-wind warning is expected remain in effect for the northern Adirondacks and the St. Lawrence Valley until 3 p.m. today.

“West to southwest winds will diminish to 15 to 25 mph after midnight, with some gusts up to 35 mph possible,” the agency forecasted. “Sustained wind speeds of at least 40 mph or gusts of 58 mph or more can lead to property damage.”

Clinton and Essex County Emergency Services expect moderate property damage from the high winds until the warning expires this afternoon.
