Taunton, Mass., neighborhoods evacuated as flood threatens TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) ? About 2,000 people in Taunton were being evacuated yesterday because a timber dam was buckling, threatening to flood neighborhoods downstream including the city's downtown. Emergency management officials said the privately owned Whittenton Pond Dam on the Mill River was in danger of failing within the next 24 hours. Mayor Robert Nunes declared a state of emergency around 3 p.m. and told residents who live near the river to head to a shelter in the field house at Taunton High School. "We are erring on the side of caution," Nunes said at a 5 p.m. news conference. "If the dam goes, we will have major problems in our city." Police officers and firefighters were knocking on doors and urging residents near the dam to evacuate, Nunes said.
