July 12, and the Kansas River rose rapidly, reaching its peak stage on July 14. Water rose 15 cm (5.9 in) an hour until within a meter (3 ft) of the top of the dike. The piers of bridges were battered by debris and whole farmhouses which had been swept downstream. Weak areas of the levee were reinforced with the help of hundreds of workers sandbagging. Shortly before midnight July 13, the Kansas River broke the levee protecting the Argentine district, and residents were forced to flee to nearby bluffs. Early that morning, after the Armourdale district had been evacuated, a 6 km (3.7 mi) long wave of water began to cascade over the levee and inundated the district with 4.5 to 9 m (15 to 30 ft) of water. Many people were rescued by boats, out of trees, ledges and rooftops. Later that morning, the Central Industrial District was flooded even while Mayor Roe Bartle of

pour into the Fairfax District. In anticipation of such a break, a second levee had been started in order to protect the Quindaro Utility Plant in the northwest corner of the district. The plant supplied water and electricity to more than 130,000 customers in Kansas City, Kansas. Shutting down the plant would have been disastrous as water hitting the 1,100 °C (2,010 °F) boilers would lead to a devastating explosion. Workers virtually removed a nearby clay hill in their efforts to build up and support the dike. By 4 AM Saturday, the dike was within 30 cm (0.98 ft) of being topped as the flood had crested. By Monday, waters were receding as fast as they had come up.

3060:, new thunderstorm development began around 10 pm, which spread north through the city, dumping another 12 mm (0.47 in) of rain before dissipating. Around midnight on July 28, upslope flow increased behind a cold front that triggered the initial thunderstorms. Steady rains began around 1 am, ending for the most part around 4 am for much of the region except for a narrow swath including Fort Collins, where rains continued towards 7 am. However, rains renewed across the region between 8 am and noon. An additional 150–200 mm (5.9–7.9 in) of rain had fallen near Laporte. By that evening, thunderstorms redeveloped. Starting at 7 pm, heavy rains fell at 1642: 2900: 2152:– were almost completely flooded. In Marana, many homes were submerged, forcing residents to be evacuated. Over 700 homes were destroyed in Clifton. In addition, 86 of the town's 126 business were heavily damaged due to the flooding. Around 3,000 buildings were destroyed due to Octave. A total of 853 houses, mobile homes, and apartments were destroyed while 2,052 others were damaged. About 10,000 people were temporarily left homeless. Damage in Arizona totaled $ 500 million (1983 2558:. Rainfall amounts by September 10 were 200–330 mm (7.9–13.0 in) over a two-day period. Damage was unprecedented. Dam failure abounded with a total of 14 dams undermined and an addition 19 dams at risk during the event. Four major bridges failed. Thousands of acres of sugar beets, beans, potatoes, corn, and other vegetables were in ruin. A total of six people perished during the flood. Damage totaled US$ 500 million (1986 dollars), and 30 counties were declared Federal disaster areas. 3017:. During the spring thaw, this creates problems as it is usually colder in southern Canada, which makes ice jam flooding a major concern for this river basin. Starting in early February, a major flood was anticipated, over two months before the flood. This gave the region plenty of time to sandbag the nearby dikes. The river began rising on April 4, and flooding the area on April 18 as the flood waters rose up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) above the long term prediction. Dikes gave way, and 3190: 414: 822:, was the single greatest crevasse to ever occur along the Mississippi River. It single-handedly flooded an area 80 km (50 mi) wide and 160 km (99 mi) long with up to 6 metres (20 ft) of water. Heavy spring rains caused a second major flood in the same region that June. In all, 73,500 km (28,400 sq mi) which were home to more than 931,000 people were inundated. The flood finally subsided in August. The massive 966: 3204: 2991: 1101:, the flood peaked twice within three months, first on January 14. The river stage nearly reached 21 m (69 ft). Cincinnati experienced a double disaster as 10 or more gas tanks exploded on "Black Sunday", January 24, which led to oil fires on the Ohio and in Mill Creek Valley. Two days later, the Ohio River crested in Cincinnati at a record 24.381 m (79.99 ft). flooding in the city lasted 19 days. In 2946: 341: 96: 309: 2771:. Surface dew points rose into the 50s and 60s Fahrenheit/teens Celsius, which rapidly melted the snowpack. Then, a heavy rain event occurred along a frontal zone moving in from the west, which led to 25–27 mm (0.98–1.06 in) of rainfall between January 18 and 19. Some areas lost 30–60 cm (0.98–1.97 ft) of snow in only 12 hours, which led to the bulk of the flooding. 389: 3110: 1393: 2342:

Brigantine Island, and Absecon Island were all cut off from major travel due to flooding and were under emergency declarations. 600 people in Milford and Fairfield, Connecticut, were also evacuated. In the New York tri-state area, power outages impacted 196,700 homes, while 48,000 homes were without power in the upstate region. The
