Flooding in Idaho















Coeur d' Alene lake and the rivers feeding into the lake were flooding a week ago on Memorial Day weekend. On Friday when I arrived at the cabin, the water was about 3" from the floor in the basement. With all the snow that has accumulated in the mountains and a few warm days was all it took to raise the level of the lake about 6 feet. There are lots of logs and debris floating around and there were very few boats on the lake because people couldn't launch or get out to there boat docks. By Sunday the lake had dropped 5" and has been dropping slowly since then. It may take to the end of June for the lake to drop to the normal summer level.
