ALBION, Idaho — Over the past week, consistent rains and warm temperatures have caused multiple creeks and drainage ditches to overflow in Albion, leading to significant flooding on Sunday.
On Monday morning, hundreds of people gathered at a city park to help fill more than 3,000 sandbags in preparation for future floods.
Albion Mayor Isaac Loveland told Idaho News 6 that the city's limited capacity sewer and storm drain system isn't able to handle that much water at once.
The city had roughly 2,500 sandbags already on hand this weekend, but those were quickly used up on Sunday night, leading to the much-needed restock on Monday.
