| June 2002 | Flash Flood | Cohagen | $50,000 | Heavy rainfall from the night of June 22, 2002 contributed to the failure of the Ross Dam #2 stock dam. Rainfall amounts up to 9 inches were reported in the drainage basin that flow into the dam. The dam was nearly empty prior to the heavy rain event, and then filled up three-quarters of the way to a series of holes which had been dug by animals. The water pushed through the holes, and caused the dam to then collapse. The subsequent deluge downstream flooded out the basement of a home, lifted several older vehicles and transported them downstream, and caused considerable damage to a culvert. The damage to the culvert lead to the U-ALL Road being washed out. |
