Hi Ralph,
It’s pretty devastating in SW Iowa and SE Nebraska where we lived for 8 years in the 70’s. The repeated occurrence of flooding in the Midwest from snow pac melt and heavy rains is not new but with development into marginal areas or continued occupation of towns not protected by levies of adequate height or weakened by deferred maintenace, disaster looms. I get a frequent mail feed from the Iowa DNR. Early this week they noted that about 30 conservation officers had been assigned to the area due to their familiarity with boating in hazardous conditions. They stated that these officers had rescued from flooded areas, 31 people, 17 dogs, 9 cats and 1 Iguana. Not a typo. Hope to see you soon Ralph, keep your powder dry.
Iowa Dave
