The water receded late last week, but the problems remained.And they will probably do so for a good long time because of the flood that struck the area last Tuesday and Wednesday.“Our roads are a mess right now,” Chickasaw County Engineer Dusten Rolando said, “and it’s going to take weeks, maybe months, for us to get back to normal.”County officials began filing the necessary paperwork for state and federal disaster declarations almost as soon as the flooding began, and Chickasaw County Emergency Management Director Ken Rasing was urging residents who needed help with flood cleanup to call him at 641-330-2998.For the complete story see the 8/30/2016 New Hampton Tribune.
