Flood — Madison, ID

Apr 10, 2023

The beginning of snowmelt caused some flooding and county roads to wash away east of Rexburg. Madison County closed two roads due to wash out and one due to two mud slides near each other. The mud slides occurred on 6000 East. The roads are in largely agricultural areas. Few homes were in the areas and had secondary means of access to their properties. A canal filled with water and the canal side failed. Water from this failure ran past a neighborhood, with little damage to driveways reported.
