Ice jam causes flooding along the Chagrin River

We are following breaking news from overnight. The warm temperatures have led to thawing and ice jams along some of our local rivers. Video from our overnight Newstracker shows flooding near the Chagrin Tavern and on King Street in Eastlake. We also talked to the Fairport Harbor Fire Department, which said large ice chunks have broken upstream on the Grand River, creating ice jams. The Grand River Metroparks have closed due to water exceeding the banks, and with incoming rain on Wednesday, the fire department said the ice jam situation could worsen.

Uh-oh. Here come the ice jams
