Flood Impacts & Photos Collapse
21.3 Floor of bridge just downstream of gage house will be flooded.
20 Highway 52 between carpio and burlington will be closed. Valley floor under water from 19-20 feet. Homes lowest in elevation in Foxholm are likely flooded if not protected.
19 Homes in Foxholm close to the Des Lacs can be affected as water encroaches on them. Lower elevation homes along Project Road near Burlington suffer damage even with no releases from Lake Darling.
