Or Mary Pays Unwelcome Call As Flood Reaches Ottawa
The Marais des Cygnes flood crest passed Ottawa last night and moves toward Osawatomie. Ottawa residents face cleanup, repairs, and displacement while the agricultural sector suffers a heavy blow with an estimated loss of 250000 dollars from 25000 acres of land, plus damage to bridges roads homes and businesses along the river. Flood records show Ottawa has seen at least 13 floods with higher stages than the current rise.
