Apr 1, 2011
Flooding of lake, streams, and lowlands in several counties in southwest Minnesota continued through April. The flooding included farmland and other lowlands, with some roads flooded and damaged. High water and groundwater levels resulting from record precipitation in the previous year contributed to the slowness of any improvement in the flooding situation.
