A combination of heavy late April rains and the melting of a near record snowpack across northern portions of the county led to flooding across all of Piscataquis county. Many rivers and streams overflowed their banks...producing various degrees of flooding across the county. The flooding impacted many towns...with many roads also closed. Significant damage to public infrastructure was also reported across the entire county. The flooding developed in late April and continued into early May.
