Releases from Gavins Point Dam reached around 160,000 cfs after mid June and the high flows continued through July. In Thurston county the flooding generally began during the first week of the month as the gauge at Sioux City, upstream, and Decatur, downstream, didn't surpass flood stage until around June 6th.

Flooding in Thurston county was mostly confined to agricultural lowlands, recreation areas and roads near the river, but the flooding did force the evacuation of 12 people near Macy.
