BRISTOL, N.H. -- State officials said Tuesday that they are concerned about the IPC Upper Dam in Bristol and have begun evacuating residents downstream.
Officials said that they found broken bolts on a side beam of the steel dam. Route 104 in and out of town was closed down. Police and fire officials said they were evacuating residents in case the dam breaks.
Several homes and businesses would be in the path of floodwaters if a dam were to burst. Officials said that they had been keeping an eye on two dams on the Newfound River, both of which were clogged with debris.
An emergency shelter has been set up at the high school.
That's part of the highway near our house. I think we can still get to it though.
The construction guys will hopefully have the driveway and everything fixed by the end of the week. Then hopefully we'll get some help from FEMA, financially.
