Much of the basin experienced as much as 1 to 3 inches of liquid equivalent precipitation through April 14. A direct fatality to a 22 year-old male resulted on April 3 when his vehicle entered flood waters nearly 7 feet deep in a field near the James River bridge on 250th Street northeast of Mitchell.
