A beaver dam on a stream had a catastrophic failure, sending a substantial amount of water down the stream into the Quaboug River. This flooded a portion of the river, causing extensive damage to Route 67 in Warren (which had been flooded by a previous beaver dam failure) and resulted in the evacuation of one house which sustained minor damage.
