20 Major flooding continues of the Northwood Country Club Golf Course upstream from Club Drive...and in the woodland areas downstream through the merging with the Yellow River. The water level begins to flood portions of Club Drive near the bridge and will likely washout the banks and road on either side of the bridge.
