The mayor of Badger, N.L., expressed cautious optimism as water levels have slightly decreased, yet evacuation orders remain due to ongoing high river levels affecting over 100 homes. Badger, a town of about 680 residents, has seen its rivers swell significantly, prompting evacuations since Thursday. Mayor Dennis Butt stated that water levels must consistently decline for at least 24 hours before considering lifting the evacuation order, especially with a winter storm expected. He urged residents needing assistance to contact the Canadian Red Cross or visit the Badger Community Centre.
