Years Of Recovery Since Devastating, Historic Flood
If not for a global pandemic in 2020 the most-memorable catastrophic event that residents of Lodi might recall is the historic flood of August 2018. It was a devastating day that came without warning- and left residents at Lodi Point reeling as more than 10 inches of rain fell in a span of hours. The nearby town of Hector recorded more than 11.5 inches of rain officially in the same devastating storm.
Homes, campers, cars, and even roads were washed away leaving little behind. Work has been underway for more than two years, but it’s far from over, according to Lodi Town Supervisor Kyle Barnhart.
