Heavy Week Rain Flood Drenches Potter Streets
Potter endured a week of heavy showers with about three inches of rain by Wednesday and two notable downpours, one 1.25 inches Saturday night and 0.77 inches Monday evening. A sudden cloudburst north of town sent water racing through streets flooding yards, crossing sidewalks and inundating areas near Ericksom, Seheer, Jacobson, Hagemeister, and Hansen properties. Minor hail accompanied the showers, but no gardens or trees suffered damage and no property losses are reported beyond street and basement flooding from the gusty deluge.
