Harney County Flooding Continues

Evacuation levels in Harney County stay unchanged as the Silvies River will remain at minor flood stage due to warm temperatures melting the snow pack.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed work reinforcing a dike with large permeable rock. They say some water will flow through the dike, but the heavy rock is expected to hold most of the water back.

Cleanup work is underway in Burns and at the Burns Paiute Tribe.
