| Episode Narrative | A prolonged period of moderate to heavy rain and snow melt led to flooding in the Oakesdale area, with basement flooding in Colfax. Precipitation amounts of 1-2 was common. McCoy and Spring Creeks in and near Oakesdale rose rapidly out of its banks, with water reaching the foundations of 9 homes, flooding basements and crawl spaces. Flooding of Pine Creek also shut down both lanes of State Route 27 south of Tekoa. In Colfax, Clay Street was flooded as run-off filled storm drains with mud. Several other streets were flooded as well. The run-off also entered into the basements of some homes. The North Fork of the Palouse River reached 14 feet, resulting in flooding of Lion's Club Park. Property damage from this event was not known, but estimated to be at $25,000. |
