Significant erosion threatened the Waste Water Treatment Plant in Baker. Significant flooding reported on O'Fallon Creek where one spotter reported the highest levels on the stream in at least 58 years with over a foot of water covering much of their farmland. At the Boxelder and Horse Creek confluence, flood waters rushed over dikes and into hayfields. Floodwaters surrounded one house in that region.
