BOWERS, Del. - The Delaware Emergency Management Agency is advising neighbors in certain parts of the Town of Bowers to evacuate due to coastal flooding.

In a social media post Sunday, Oct. 12, DEMA urged Bowers residents east of Whitwells Delight Road to evacuate as the waters continue to rise. An emergency alert had been sent to neighbors in the affected area, according to DEMA.

Officials say a reception center had been opened at Magnolia Fire Hall for those evacuating and would provide shelter until further notice. 

WBOC will continue to monitor the coastal storm and provide updates. Stay tuned for the latest in our broadcasts and on our website, Weather App, News App, and social media.
