<br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />As the rains continued, a mobile home park near Gilcrest suffered because the normally <br />dry pond in which it was built was filled by a heavy rain - 6 inches in 3 hOllrs. Farmers whose <br />low-lying land along the South Plane River was usually protected by their agricultural levees <br />found out that a prolonged 10-year to 25-year flow on the river exceeded the capacity of those <br />levees. State Highway 66 near Planeville was significantly damaged when it was under the South <br />Plane for several days. <br /> <br />Rain in the Arkansas River basin led to flooding in the town of Wiley two weekends in <br />a row, the most serious event occurring from 3 inches of rain in 2 hours. It also caused damage <br />to flood control facilities at Las Animas. Meanwhile, the cool and wet weather was delaying the <br />runoff of the heavy snO\vpack throughout the mountains. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />~_-.:I <br /> <br />f~_~, - <br /> <br />~-- <br />;::;.- "e' ~_..., ~~.- <br />!t."::'- __. il,... <br />~ ~ ':-- ~~ -;;?-:"". <br />It-!"~ """... ._-. ~ _ .. <br />- ~ - ~~"~:_'-_.._~. <br />""'-~.;7;..::o:~. ... <br />- . ----oo::'"-=-~:.... <br /> <br />...;> <br /> <br />Outflanked Agricultural Levee - Arkansas River, Peowees County <br />
