| March 2023 | Flash Flood | Boles | 1 killed | Numerous roads have been flooded throughout Scott County. However, in Boles there was a report that some people were isolated in their home due to rising flood waters. A man was found drowned the next day when flood waters began to recede, so the timing of death is uncertain. His age is unknown, but he was likely an older adult as he was described as a grandfather. He likely drove into floodwaters and got washed off the road sometime between the night of the 2nd and the morning of the 3rd. |
