Description

Flood's Over, Huh?: The recent flood in Mills and Fremont counties may be gone but the water lingers on in many sections of the river bottom. Taken this week, this picture of the Newell Lorimor farm home east of Bartlett reveals why the 'moving back' process has been slow for evacuees. Numerous dikes and levees have been opened during the week to permit a faster runoff of the trapped flood waters.
