6 Idaho Floods That Caused Millions of Dollars in Damage

Idaho has experienced millions in losses
According to records from Ada County, Idaho is no stranger to devastating floods and these natural disasters have resulted in millions of dollars in damage. Using that data from Ada County, we sorted out floods that caused a minimum of a million dollars of damage and unfortunately, there are six floods that met that criteria. One flood, in particular, caused $65 MILLION in damage.
A lot of these disasters are due to rain and snowmelt which can prove to be a destructive combination that has a damaging financial impact.
Let's look at the top floods that devastated Idaho and caused millions in damage in the process.
