Heavy rainfall damaged some forest roads, caused at least one landslide and flooded some ditches, yards and homes in the Petersburg area last week. But the area escaped relatively unscathed compared to the natural disaster that occurred to the north in Haines.
The late November early December storm dumped inches of rain on the region and did some damage to forest roads on the Tongass National Forest in this area.
