Flash flooding strikes Fonda again | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS Shares0 FONDA – Broadway between Route 5 and Wemple Avenue in Fonda closed for the second time this week on Friday after a five-minute storm swept through the area causing the same creek that overflowed Monday to spill water into the village, again.  Friday’s event was  “nothing as severe as the other night,” said Rick Sager, director of Montgomery County Emergency Management.  Days earlier, on Monday, a two-hour isolated thunderstorm dumped nearly 4 inches of rain on the village, causing flash flooding from the overflowing creek.  Town of Mohawk Highway Superintendent Bill Holvig had attributed the flooding in the village to the overflowing of an unnamed creek running behind the Montgomery County Courthouse and homes along Broadway toward the heart of the village. The creek is partially fed by runoff from farms and agricultural lands uphill from the village.
