Businesses on the west side immediately got to cleaning their area as soon as Highway 33 (Noble) was reopened on Sunday afternoon. Many of the businesses said they would be opening back up soon.

The eighth largest flood recorded for the west side location halted traffic for 19 hours as the waters reached 27.4 feet (5.4 feet above stage flood level).
