Mop-up and. clean-up of double flood damage in Cassville continues after a deluge of 10 inches of rain ell in the area in the past week. Included in the neaviest hit sections of the area was Roaring River State Park. Thursday night and again Saturday afternoon, flash flooding was evident throughout south Barry County. Damage estimates to roads, public facilities, private property and businesses were not available at presstime. Highest water of flooding arrived in Cassville at 11:50 p.m. Thursday. Emergency crews from the city, Highway Patrol and highway department were on patrol as were law enforcement officers, to evacuate the Fair Street area of town adjoining Flat Creek. Heavy rains to the west of Cassville sent rivers of water down 11th Street and two draining ditches crossing center-town. Businesses between Second and Third Streets, Jim’s Floorcovering, Cassville Distributing and James Auto, received water in their buildings. Spectators driving in the area pushed water in the structures at different times. High waters surrounded Town House Motel and Dinner House. The motel office was flooded with inches of water for a brief time. No rooms in the facility received water damage. Dave Davidson said two inches more rise would have put water in the restaurant. All Flat Creek bridges, except the principal highway crossing were flooded and blocked by debris. Heaviest of damage in Cassville was to Little League baseball park fences, which were washed out. The playing area was covered with debris, piled two feet deep against the backstop. Main Street between 10th and 11th was flooded both Thursday night and Saturday afternoon. During these flood periods, five and one-half and three inch rainfalls were reported at Roaring River. An unusual overflow of water crossed city route 37 at the Kenney Addition in the south part of town Thursday. evening. Park Road Courts on Highway 112 received damage from run-off from the hillside behind the units. Driveways and some water and sewer lines were demolished or uncovered in the city. Roaring River was : evacuated at 10:30 p.m. Thursday and again Saturday afternoon about 2 p.m. Rock and steelnet dams installed at the park several years ago above the trout hatchery at Roaring River for protection, were washed out by the Thursday flood. Heavy water in the Washburn area Saturday forced Dry Hollow above the Highway 112 bridge in the park for the first time in history. James Woods, park superintendent, said all utilities at the park were out for a lengthy period. The facility was closed for the weekend, but state crews arrived Monday to commence a clean-up. Woods and Norman Channey, park concessionaire, said the camping and public facilities would be open by the weekend. Conservation Commission crews are also expected to assess damage to the trout stream. High waters in the park made the lower area resemble times when Bass Lake provided a reservoir in this area of the park. This converted camping area was virtually ripped apart by the fast moving waters. Damage at the park was assessed at nearly $100,000 by James Wilson, state director. Two sections of a boulder retaining wall on the Park Center side of Dry Hollow were washed by rushing waters. Woods said equipment and supplies from the city of Cassville assisted park crews in getting water supplies restored at the park. The rushing waters at both Cassville and Roaring River missed by just a few days the record levels of water recorded here in the June 13, 1964 floods. Army Corps of Engineers officials expected a peak of Table Rock Lake later this week at somewhere near the 931 flood stage level. Lake residents were advised to keep in constant touch with water levels and watch facilities such as boat docks and other property closely. Gates at both Table Rock and Beaver reservoirs were open since the flooding started. Accompanying the storms was a limited amount of wind. More heavy winds that struck areas west of Barry County did not reach this area. Some lightning damage to buildings and cattle was reported.
