After 3 to 5 inches of rain fell on the Casselton area, flash flooding occurred. Roughly 40 percent of the homes sustained some sort of water damage, which equated to about 200 homes.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol and North Dakota DOT personnel closed Interstate 94 at the Casselton exit due to water flowing across all four lanes. Traffic was detoured across the exit ramps until flood waters had subsided.
Water flowed over several sections of county and township roads in southern and central Harmony township. Numerous farm access roads and fields were flooded.
Due to electrical outages, pump failure, and water pooling at the Interstate 94 exit near Casselton, the North Dakota DOT temporarily closed both lanes and detoured traffic over the exit ramps.
