Rapid snowmelt runoff from 25 to 30 inches of snow and ice jamming on the Little Minnesota River and Lake Traverse resulted in flash flooding in Browns Valley. The water came mostly into the northern end of town around 1 to 2 am in the morning of the 14th. One-hundred forty homes received some flooding damage with fifty homes receiving significant damage. Over 100 residents had to be evacuated. Several roads and bridges also received damage from the flooding. The flood waters slowly receded through the early morning hours of the 17th. |
