Significant flooding was reported in
the North Fork Zumbro River watershed
during the evening of the 7th after
3 to 6 inches of rain fell. A total
of 5.47 inches of rain was recorded
in Wanamingo in 24 hours, 2.8 inches
of which fell between 9:30 and 10:30
PM.
An unnamed creek which flows into the
North Fork Zumbro River rose 20 feet
above its normal 1 foot level and
rushed over Highway 1 about 1 mile
south of the Highway 30 intersection
in Wanamingo Township, about 4 miles
west of Wanamingo. By 10:30 PM the
creek completed covered the road in
rushing water up to 2.5 feet deep and
shortly thereafter two separate
vehicles were swept off the roadway
and were washed down the creek. One
vehicle, a pickup truck, was found in
a nearby ditch with a smashed
windshield and badly damaged hood. The
body of the driver, a 47-year-old
man, was found three quarters of a
mile downstream under farm equipment
nearly a day and a half later when
the water finally subsided. The man,
who lived in Hayfield, was on his way
to work in Cannon Falls.
The other vehicle that was washed off
the road and into the creek was a
sedan. The driver, a 50-year-old
Kenyon woman who was on her way home
from work, exited the car through an
open window after traveling about 1/2
mile downstream. She floated on her
back down the creek until lightning
illuminated a nearby fencepost which
she grabbed hold of until rescuers
arrived two hours later. Incredibly
she survived the ordeal with only
bruises. The rushing creek was also
responsible for washing out 200 feet
of gradual slope along Highway 1 near
the road. Scattered debris was also
found in farm fields along the
creek's banks for several miles. In
addition, an unnamed creek that flows
into the North Fork Zumbro River
about 2 miles east of Wanamingo
inundated the Shades of Sherwood
campground around 10:30 PM. M47VE

Up to 6 inches of rain fell in the
North Fork Zumbro River watershed on
the evening of the 7th and widespread
flooding resulted.
The Sheriffs department reported that
flood waters from the North Fork
Zumbro River forced the closure of
Highway 58 just north of Zumbrota at
Covered Bridge Park around 3 AM on
the 8th. The highway remained closed
for much of the day. Covered Bridge
Park along the river sustained
$20,000 damage to electrical
equipment in the campground area, and
a softball tournament had to be
cancelled at the park after the flood
damaged ball fields.
The wastewater treatment plant in
Wanamingo had to be evacuated shortly
after midnight after the Zumbro River
became higher than the water discharge
level and began to flood back into the
plant. A total of 4.48 inches of rain
was recorded at the plant in 24
hours. Local officials had to sandbag
low lying areas of town. In addition,
the Shades of Sherwood campground,
about 2 miles northeast of Wanamingo,
was severely flooded when the North
Fork Zumbro River and an unnamed
tributary overflowed during the early
morning hours. The campground
sustained around $25,000 in damage.
Approximately 30 camper trailers
suffered heavy damage or were
completely destroyed by flood waters.
Total damage to personal property at
the campground was estimated at more
than $500,000.
Various county roads near the river
were impassible for much of the day,
including County Road 1 about 4 miles
west of Wanamingo between Highway
30 and Highway 60, Highway 57 just

the North Fork Zumbro River had to be

Significant flooding was reported in
the North Fork Zumbro River watershed
during the evening of the 7th after
3 to 6 inches of rain fell. A total
of 5.47 inches of rain was recorded
in Wanamingo in 24 hours, 2.8 inches
of which fell between 9:30 and 10:30
PM.
An unnamed creek which flows into the
North Fork Zumbro River rose 20 feet
above its normal 1 foot level and
rushed over Highway 1 about 1 mile
south of the Highway 30 intersection
in Wanamingo Township, about 4 miles
west of Wanamingo. By 10:30 PM the
creek completed covered the road in
rushing water up to 2.5 feet deep and
shortly thereafter two separate
vehicles were swept off the roadway
and were washed down the creek. One
vehicle, a pickup truck, was found in
a nearby ditch with a smashed
windshield and badly damaged hood. The
body of the driver, a 47-year-old
man, was found three quarters of a
mile downstream under farm equipment
nearly a day and a half later when
the water finally subsided. The man,
who lived in Hayfield, was on his way
to work in Cannon Falls.
The other vehicle that was washed off
the road and into the creek was a
sedan. The driver, a 50-year-old
Kenyon woman who was on her way home
from work, exited the car through an
open window after traveling about 1/2
mile downstream. She floated on her
back down the creek until lightning
illuminated a nearby fencepost which
she grabbed hold of until rescuers
arrived two hours later. Incredibly
she survived the ordeal with only
bruises. The rushing creek was also
responsible for washing out 200 feet
of gradual slope along Highway 1 near
the road. Scattered debris was also
found in farm fields along the
creek's banks for several miles. In
addition, an unnamed creek that flows
into the North Fork Zumbro River
about 2 miles east of Wanamingo
inundated the Shades of Sherwood
campground around 10:30 PM. M47VE

Up to 6 inches of rain fell in the
North Fork Zumbro River watershed on
the evening of the 7th and widespread
flooding resulted.
The Sheriffs department reported that
flood waters from the North Fork
Zumbro River forced the closure of
Highway 58 just north of Zumbrota at
Covered Bridge Park around 3 AM on
the 8th. The highway remained closed
for much of the day. Covered Bridge
Park along the river sustained
$20,000 damage to electrical
equipment in the campground area, and
a softball tournament had to be
cancelled at the park after the flood
damaged ball fields.
The wastewater treatment plant in
Wanamingo had to be evacuated shortly
after midnight after the Zumbro River
became higher than the water discharge
level and began to flood back into the
plant. A total of 4.48 inches of rain
was recorded at the plant in 24
hours. Local officials had to sandbag
low lying areas of town. In addition,
the Shades of Sherwood campground,
about 2 miles northeast of Wanamingo,
was severely flooded when the North
Fork Zumbro River and an unnamed
tributary overflowed during the early
morning hours. The campground
sustained around $25,000 in damage.
Approximately 30 camper trailers
suffered heavy damage or were
completely destroyed by flood waters.
Total damage to personal property at
the campground was estimated at more
than $500,000.
Various county roads near the river
were impassible for much of the day,
including County Road 1 about 4 miles
west of Wanamingo between Highway
30 and Highway 60, Highway 57 just
north of Wanamingo, and 420th Street
about 5 miles northwest of Zumbrota.
Several shoulders on roads passing
the North Fork Zumbro River had to be
repaired after being washed out.
About 3 miles west of Cannon Falls,
the Little Cannon River overflowed
into a yard along Oxford Mill Road.

Tropical Storm Arlene developed in the
western Caribbean on June 9th and moved
north across the eastern Gulf of Mexico
on June 10th and 11th before making
landfall in the extreme western Florida
Panhandle near Pensacola during the
afternoon of the 11th. Weather impacts
from Torpical Storm Arlene were minimal
along the Mississippi coast as
sustained tropical storm force winds
and wind gusts remained off the coast
over the coastal waters. The highest
measured sustained wind was 34 knots at
NOAA buoy 42040 located 22 miles south
southeast of Biloxi, Mississippi. This
buoy also recorded the highest wind
gust of 43 knots. The minimum pressure
measured was 998.6 mb at NOAA buoy
42040. Rainfall was generally between
one and two inches across Jackson
County with much lower amounts farther
west along the Mississippi coast. No
significant storm surge or coastal
flooding occurred with Tropical Storm

Countywide Flash Flood
Significant flooding was reported in
the North Fork Zumbro River watershed
during the evening of the 7th after
3 to 6 inches of rain fell. A total
of 5.47 inches of rain was recorded
in Wanamingo in 24 hours, 2.8 inches
of which fell between 9:30 and 10:30
PM.
An unnamed creek which flows into the
North Fork Zumbro River rose 20 feet
above its normal 1 foot level and
rushed over Highway 1 about 1 mile
south of the Highway 30 intersection
in Wanamingo Township, about 4 miles
west of Wanamingo. By 10:30 PM the
creek completed covered the road in
rushing water up to 2.5 feet deep and
shortly thereafter two separate
vehicles were swept off the roadway
and were washed down the creek. One
vehicle, a pickup truck, was found in
a nearby ditch with a smashed
windshield and badly damaged hood. The
body of the driver, a 47-year-old
man, was found three quarters of a
mile downstream under farm equipment
nearly a day and a half later when
the water finally subsided. The man,
who lived in Hayfield, was on his way
to work in Cannon Falls.
The other vehicle that was washed off
the road and into the creek was a
sedan. The driver, a 50-year-old
Kenyon woman who was on her way home
from work, exited the car through an
open window after traveling about 1/2
mile downstream. She floated on her
back down the creek until lightning
illuminated a nearby fencepost which
she grabbed hold of until rescuers
arrived two hours later. Incredibly
she survived the ordeal with only
bruises. The rushing creek was also
responsible for washing out 200 feet
of gradual slope along Highway 1 near
the road. Scattered debris was also
found in farm fields along the
creek's banks for several miles. In
addition, an unnamed creek that flows
into the North Fork Zumbro River
about 2 miles east of Wanamingo
inundated the Shades of Sherwood
campground around 10:30 PM. M47VE

Flood
Up to 6 inches of rain fell in the
North Fork Zumbro River watershed on
the evening of the 7th and widespread
flooding resulted.
The Sheriffs department reported that
flood waters from the North Fork
Zumbro River forced the closure of
Highway 58 just north of Zumbrota at
Covered Bridge Park around 3 AM on
the 8th. The highway remained closed
for much of the day. Covered Bridge
Park along the river sustained
$20,000 damage to electrical
equipment in the campground area, and
a softball tournament had to be
cancelled at the park after the flood
damaged ball fields.
The wastewater treatment plant in
Wanamingo had to be evacuated shortly
after midnight after the Zumbro River
became higher than the water discharge
level and began to flood back into the
plant. A total of 4.48 inches of rain
was recorded at the plant in 24
hours. Local officials had to sandbag
low lying areas of town. In addition,
the Shades of Sherwood campground,
about 2 miles northeast of Wanamingo,
was severely flooded when the North
Fork Zumbro River and an unnamed
tributary overflowed during the early
morning hours. The campground
sustained around $25,000 in damage.
Approximately 30 camper trailers
suffered heavy damage or were
completely destroyed by flood waters.
Total damage to personal property at
the campground was estimated at more
than $500,000.
Various county roads near the river
were impassible for much of the day,
including County Road 1 about 4 miles
west of Wanamingo between Highway
30 and Highway 60, Highway 57 just
north of Wanamingo, and 420th Street
about 5 miles northwest of Zumbrota.
Several shoulders on roads passing
the North Fork Zumbro River had to be
repaired after being washed out.
About 3 miles west of Cannon Falls,
the Little Cannon River overflowed
into a yard along Oxford Mill Road.
In Kenyon, a country club golf course
was flooded by the North Fork Zumbro
River.
