The county has ordered the evacuation of the southside of the village of Addison adjoining Tuscarora Creek, with officials reporting that the National Weather Service estimates that the flooding of the creek will exceed historic levels, potentially topping the levy. Residents were ordered not to return to their homes until crews can inspect damage Thursday morning.

The Red Cross has opened two shelters for those displaced by flooding at the Canisteo Fire Hall and the Corning-Painted Post High School in Corning. 

People are being asked to stay off roads so that highway, police and fire officials may continue to respond to emergencies safely.

County residents are asked not to call 911 unless it is for a true emergency.
