March 2017FloodNordman$2,000,000Periodic heavy rain and spring time snow melt created saturated soil conditions which promoted numerous debris flows and widespread areal flooding through out Bonner County from the middle to the end of March. A train carrying 50 to 60 empty coal cars derailed near Kootenai after flooding undermined the tracks.
