Flooding worsens upstream as Turkey nears major flood stage
Elgin faces rising Turkey River levels with 18 foot moderate flood stage forecast near Clermont. City officials position sandbags and pumps as crews monitor the river. Ossian reports over 4 inches of rain while Elgin sees about 2% inches. Campgrounds along the Turkey and Volga Rivers evacuate, and Backbone State Park entries close due to high water with certain facilities remaining open.
