Water flooded the yards of three homes in Ross River, Yukon, after the Pelly River breached a dike around 9:30 a.m. Thursday morning.

A forestry crew said they were waiting for Yukon's highway's department to bring in a loader to work on the dike.

Homes in the same area were flooded two weeks ago.

The water did recede enough to allow homeowners to salvage some belongings but the water levels have been steadily rising all week.
