The road that we take to go downtown and to work was under 2' of water. In the 23 years we have lived in this house that road has NEVER been under water. Both north and south entrances into town were closed off due to several feet of water over the bridges and the roads. There was water(deep water) where there has never been water ever before. The bridges will have to be inspected before they can be used. They opened the streets in town today, but you still can't get into town from the north or the south. The bridges are 1 mile to the north and 1/2 mile to the south. There are gravel roads to use to get to the town. A town 18 miles to the north had sewage coming up in a new housing developement. We feel very fortunate we didn't have to deal with that or worse. BE VERY CAREFUL! We woke up to water in our basement Sunday morning, in 2 of the rooms.

Pretty nasty stuff. We had a couple of days near 100 temps that ended with a severe storm. Now its back into the 80's...ahh. Hope your family stays safe and dry in Iowa.
