Last one looks like a fred flintstone (or you know what) facing the Mississippi river
Got off 1-80 to go to Ames around 8 tonight. Holy cow pissing on a flat rock!! 35-40 mph with wipers full speed, people pulling over others putting their flashers on. Don’t think I’ve seen the sky that dark before in a long time. I hit a bad storm just north of Keokuk earlier. At least my car is clean now from all the cicadas I hit while in St. Louis.
Guy I know who lives near garrigan told me he had 4.5.
We had just shy of 4 inches from Saturday to yesterday morning. Ponds are as large as I’ve EVER seen. It’s getting really old.
We are now down to only about a month more of these rains to break this drought as I was told a month ago (that we needed a couple months of this to leave the drought).
I may need my boat to get around if this keeps up.
A guy from Algona sent me a video of a car that was stranded in the street because it tried going through too deep of water. It could be from there.
Not sure. Mother in law sent that. I'm in west des moines and it's still raining so I haven't checked yet.
Ugh, saw flying cyclone picked up an extra 3 inches, probably not needed. We got another .3 or so. Did you dodge the bullet?
Not sure. Haven’t went up there yet. We needed a week without rain to dry out from this weekend through Monday. Someone closer up there said they had half an inch. Central Hancock had 8 tenths when I checked.
She said they have 4.5 inches in their rain Guage in 45 minutes!
I was just about to post the same thing. My rain gauge in Ankeny shows 2.25 inches from this evening's rain. Love it!
