April 2011FloodRamona$100,000Flooding of lakes and lowlands, including Lake Madison and farmland, continued in the county through April. While flooding of small streams abated, lake and lowland flooding continued with very slow improvement. Many roads remained flooded, with additional damage. High water and groundwater levels resulting from record precipitation in the previous year was the main reason that the flooding either grew worse or improved so slowly.

This flooding lasted for almost two days, and was aggravated locally by additional storms during that time. Some roads were damaged or washed out.
