Due to warm temperatures, rapid snowmelt caused widespread flooding of streams, low areas, and farmland. Flood waters covered many roads, with some washed out. Some utility poles and lines were damaged. High water levels destroyed some schools, houses, and other buildings. Day County was especially stricken, with road damage estimated at $75,000. Ice jams exacerbated the flooding on some culverts and streams.
