Flooding In Iowa

For the last week+ we have been experiencing flooding in eastern and central Iowa. All the water from the north has now made it down to our area and most of the rivers have crested and are now starting to slowly recede.

These two pictures along the Mississippi River east of Muscatine, I took tonight on a bike ride. The paper last night said that the crest of the Mississippi River in this area will be recorded as the fifth highest with the 1993 flood being the highest. Further down river the Mississippi is expected to meet or exceed the 1993 crest as the Cedar, Iowa and Des Moines Rivers dump their overflow.
