West Seneca, NY (WBEN) Residents near Indian Church Road have been evacuated after ice jam flooding Monday evening. The evacuations were voluntary as some residents decided Mother Nature was getting the best of their properties.
The flooding began as record warmth melted last week's snow from the blizzard.
