And the rains came, and came.....

On August 18 and 19, 2007, The City of Hokah sustained 15.1 inches of rain in a twenty

four hour period.

Until seeing it for yourself, it is truly impossible to imagine the devastation this unexpected,

powerful act of nature did to the

 southeastern Minnesota region. The absolutely serene Como Falls Park with its unique waterfall

and striking landscaping done totally

by volunteers has divided the meandering creek in half and is now matted down with trees and debris.
