…Significant rises expected on the Lost and Methow Rivers
impacting an earthen berm protecting the Lost River Community…
Warm weather through the end of the week will produce rises on the Lost River and Methow River. Recent high flows have damaged an earthen berm protecting the community of Lost River from flooding. Additional rises may further damage the berm. If the berm fails, flood water may quickly inundate homes and property in low lying areas along Harris Road, Misty Circle, Buck Circle, and Mercer Road.
