HEADS UP! WKBW-TV: BREAKING: Gov. Cuomo urges residents to be prepared to evacuate for flooding: Have your bags packed and ready. He considers flooding to be worse than snow, calling flood water a potentially toxic brew. WEST SENECA, N.Y. (WKBW) - An ice floe is jammed under a bridge on Ridge Road, and water is rising rapidly. The bridge in West Seneca is at the corner of Orchard Park Road and Ridge Road, over Cazenovia Creek. A flood warning remains in effect until 4:15 p.m. ET Monday for Erie, Northern Chautauqua, Wyoming, Southern Genesee and Northwestern Cattaraugus counties. Another ice jam has formed in Buffalo Creek upstream of the Buffalo River. The jams are expected to exacerbate the flood threat.
