Chatham-Kent remains under a State of Emergency.
Mayor Randy Hope says water levels are still not normal but are rescinding.
He says it was a scary feeling seeing the flooded areas.
"We're thankful number one that there was no ice jams in that melt in the river or it would have been even devastating," says Hope. "Thankful for the fact there didn't had to be extensive rainfall and it's amazing how a natural disaster can occur in such a short period of time."

The Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority has downgraded the flood risk to areas in Lakeshore along the lower Thames River, including Lighthouse Cove.
It says there now appears to be little to no threat of flooding in these areas.
However, the high water levels continue as does the danger from fast flowing waters.
Everyone is reminded to remain a safe distance back from the river banks.
