Flood Watch For Lake Erie Shoreline

The Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority has issued a flood watch for the Lake Erie shoreline.

Conservation officials say strong winds on Tuesday will cause high waves similar to those that caused flooding earlier this year along Erie Shore Dr. in Chatham-Kent. The LTVCA says there is a risk that wave action could damage the shoreline and cause erosion.

People, pets and livestock should avoid the shoreline. The flood watch is in effect until Wednesday.
