WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
April 2023FloodRiverside-Warm temperatures early in April led to rapid snowmelt of a well above normal snowpack across the region. Additionally, heavy rainfall on top of the snowpack led to additional high runoff across the county as well. Roads began to be impacted on the 12th with water overtopping low spots leading to washouts, failed culverts and numerous closed roads. Temperatures cooled during the middle of the month along with a heavy rain/snow event the 16th into the 17th. This allowed the runoff to slow and water levels to drop. Clam Lake rose out of its bank and flooded around 60 homes and cabins around the lake for a time around the 16th and 17th. Multiple communities along with the county issued disaster declarations due to the extent of washed out roads with the worst of the flooding abating by the 25th. Damage estimates were not readily available from the county.
