A fast thaw and ice jams under the bridges were an unfortunate combination in Eagle Bend. Dave Gosiak, who lives three blocks from the creek, found his house surrounded by water Monday morning. In the early morning hours Monday, the creek rose over the first two bridges on the north end of town. The creek then took a new path, flowing down North Street and Main Street all the way through town.
