Rivers across Nodaway County, including the One Hundred and Two at Highway 136 just east of Maryville, swelled to flood stage Thursday evening following torrential rains and thunderstorms that rolled across the region.
Despite a series of tornado warnings for various parts of Nodaway County, no severe damage was immediately reported, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
There were reports of downed power lines north of Mozingo Lake Recreation Park and at least one flooded road in the northern part of the county.
Many low lying farm fields were flooded in the eastern part of the county as creeks, gullies and ponds overflowed into ditches and pastures.
