People in Sussex, New Brunswick are just starting to see how much damage was caused by this week's forceful flood.

The Steven family just finished their basement two weeks ago, but today, their starting over.

Pumps have been busy sucking out water for more than 48 hours.

Even with a ruined basement, the family considers themselves lucky.

"I had a message on my aunt's door that there's for sure sewage in her home," says Heather Steven.

Many basements remain underwater, much like the Clark Bridge.

People were busy snapping pictures of the sight from the Trans-Canada highway. 

Meanwhile in Perth-Andover, New Brunswick EMO is keeping a close watch on ice jams above Grand Falls.

The main road between Perth-Andover and Tobique First Nation is blocked, turning a five minute drive between both communities into a half hour commute.

New Brunswick Emergency Management Officials say there’s a “strong probability” of 2012-flood levels being reached in the Perth-Andover-area, as early as Saturday.

EMO has been closely watching a large ice jam on the St. John River above Grand Falls, as well as another jam downriver in Muniac. Between both jams are the communities of Perth-Andover and Tobique First Nation.

EMO spokesperson Paul Bradley says pieces of the ice jam above Grand Falls broke away Friday, including a 35-kilometre ice pack which is now moving towards Muniac.

There is concern the ice pack could become blocked when it arrives in Muniac, creating flooding in Perth-Andover and Tobique First Nation.

Village officials in Perth-Andover began phoning residents in low-lying areas Wednesday night, encouraging them to voluntarily evacuate.

An evacuation centre has been set up at Perth-Andover Middle School.

The village’s hospital – which was badly damaged in the 2012 flood – was evacuated Wednesday with patients either sent to other facilities or sent home.

Residents in the area are concerned, with memories of 2012 flood damage still fresh.

“It’s really upsetting me,” said resident Jason Levesque. “If it hits again I don’t know what we’re going to do.”

Flood waters in other parts of New Brunswick continue to cause problems and safety concerns.

Two women had to swim 40 feet to shore from their car in Oromocto Thursday night, after their vehicle got too close to the rising Saint John river.

The two women were treated for hypothermia and were taken too hospital.

Rescuers were unable to get to the sinking car due to strong river currents where the water is anywhere from ten to 20 feet deep.

The fire department is warning everyone to stay away the rising waters.
