Like its neighbour Bracebridge to the south, Huntsville is under a State of Emergency and the Town’s mayor says today’s rain could play a determining factor as to how bad flooding gets there.
Scott Aitchison tells Country 102 that in the north end of Huntsville, in the Big East River area, the levels have started to go down.
