MADISON — Numerous roads in Madison were washed out by flash flooding early Thursday, according to town officials, who called a public hearing to be held Friday at town hall at 4 p.m.
Madison Selectman Joe Dame said close to 7 inches of rain fell in Madison. He said the Silver Lake dam was opened to lower the lake and that it was up about 2 feet as of about 9:30 a.m.
