The Berenda Slough had its banks fail between 1130 and 1230 PST on the 4th resulting in widespread water over farmland in Madera County southwest of Chowchilla. Flooding of this type and in this location had not occurred in at least the last 76 years as any high water flows had safely moved past the area within the banks of the area sloughs, creeks, and rivers.
