21. 2004 Omro Flooding Runoff from a heavy rainfall, in addition to flooding upstream, contributed to flooding of the Fox river in southwest Winnebago county on the afternoon of the 15th of June. The worst of the flooding was mainly between Eureka and Omro. By late in the afternoon of the 16th the river had overtopped a dam at Eureka making many roads in the area impassable due to high water and damaging homes along the river. Additional rainfall during the evening of the 16th made matters even worse, flooding 80 percent of the roads in Omro and closing state highway 21 for a few days. The flooding along this part of the Fox river continued into early July.
