Flooding continued during the day as a result of excessively heavy rainfall Friday night into Saturday morning. Numerous roads remained closed due to washouts, while streams and creeks were overflowing. In northern Adams County, emergency management officials reported high water levels on area lakes, which nearly breached levees and embankments. Local residents joined township and county crews in an all-out effort to sandbag areas along lakes Arrowhead, Camelot and Sherwood.
