GRAFTON, N.D. (AP) - Several roads in Walsh County in northeast North Dakota are under water because of melting snow and ice jams.

Brent Nelson is the county’s emergency manager. He says sandbags have been delivered to a number of homes as a precaution.

KFGO-AM reports that the National Weather Service has issued a flood warning in the area.



Nelson says about a dozen sites are currently closed. He says two of them are on a county road near Forest River and another one near the Fordville-Lankin area. Others closures are in township roads and minimum maintenance roads.

The station reports that some of the locations that could experience flooding include Grafton, Minto, Park River and Ardoch.
