Event Narrative A blocked railroad culvert resulted in water flooding out onto Chumstick Highway near Freund Canyon about 1.3 miles north of Leavenworth. The water was about a foot deep across the road for a brief period resulting in its closure. Parts of the road were damaged by the flowing water.
