Flooding here in Iowa [View all]

Yeah, just what we don't need right now.

Dangerous amounts of rain have fallen along Highway 20 and north and additional rain is still possible. Due to the already saturated grounds and significant amounts of rain, dangerous flooding is occurring. Areas to the north have seen anywhere from 2 to over 12 inches of rain. Areas along the Cedar and Turkey River are dealing with moderate flooding and river levels are expected to continue to rise above flood stage.

If you come across a road or area covered in water, TURN AROUND! Keep in mind most flooding deaths do occur in vehicles that are trying to drive through a flooded area..
