Another round of torrential rains over already saturated ground created flash flooding across the county on the evening of the 28th, continuing through the 30th. Most of the problems in the county were confined to water covering roadways, with the western portion of the county near Freeport and Tippecanoe having the most problems. Several buildings received damage from the flood waters, most of them mobile homes. The county also sustained significant agricultural losses from standing flood water in fields.
What these are
- Flash Flood
- Flooding that begins within six hours of the rain that causes it, or of a dam or levee failure or ice jam release, often with deadly speed.
