FREDERICTON - Record water levels caused flooding in Northwestern New Brunswick's Victoria County today. Unseasonably warm temperatures all week rapidly melted ice along the Upper St. John River, causing flood conditions in the communites of Woodstock and Hartland with Perth Andover being hardest hit. Schools were closed, businesses were shut down and the population evacuated as water tipped into Perth's downtown and beyond. (Photo credits: WAGM TV and Victoria County Flood Watch 2012)
