They are Sand bagging in Iowa city area. 6 inches here in 2 days.+ all we all ready had.Sump pumping going strong
Wehad lot of rain last week. But no gully washers.On news sand bagging around water treatment plant.And mud slide At U of Iowa area. News most total rain state wide since 61.And can remember going to help -sand bag then in Cedar Rapids.That town in 08 --20 feet over flood stage. Helped gut house from that flood.
Many signs up Road Closed.And all ways someones thinks That doesn't mean me. Road was washed out. Washed tube right out.It was in ditch.But lot of people will be cold furnace under water and hot water-in flooded basements.
I imagine there will be a lot of disabled cars that tried to use impassable road. The rain is reducing the areas that are desperate for moisture. It would be nice to get it over a longer timeframe instead of all at once. Jerry
Man, talk about too much rain! One of my old coworkers posted a photo on facebook of him kayaking in his back yard! Heck, I could almost go swimming in my front flower bed! Doesnt help that something seems to be wrong with the gutter (Its overflowing, but it shouldnt be clogged, we cleaned em out last summer and there's not a lot that could get stuck in it... :-?)
I took another street in Marengo . It was full of water. Young lady said I seen you turn around with your Jeep. And she had driven through it with her smaller car fine.Then told her Wheel bearing Job cost $$$$.Yes to get more un needed rain. Some places got 8 inches in 2 days One of my customer One( very )step hill. Water in finish basement.French drain for gutters plugged.Told wasn't good idea. has 15 acres of timber above her house.
