    Two flooding events on July 22nd and 23rd not only impacted US 26/287 about 14 miles southeast of Dubois but it also caused property damage to residents in the area.

    County 10 spoke with impacted resident Ben Barto about the damage water, mud and debris caused. Ben shared the events took out two culverts, roads and landscaping on his land. He said they had to fix one culvert right away so they could access their property. The unoffical amount of damage is estimated to be over $75,000. Ben says he has contacted a few local and federal agencies for assistance but has nothing confirmed at this point. The amount of damage does not meet the minimum qualifications for FEMA assistance, according to Ben.

    He also shared the two days of flooding in July was a lot worse than the similar flash flood that happened about five years ago in the same area. He said there is an “old clogged dam in the canyon” that causes the large amounts of rain water to flow toward the highway. The highway department is still moving debris and mud in the area.

    Other nearby residents also have damage to their property. The full scale of their damage is not known.
