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!
I live in way NW Clive and got 3.44" in about 45 minutes
There will be quite a bit of water coming down the rivers from up here. Most of mine goes north into Minnesota and ends up dumping into the Mississippi at the twin cities.
Is this from Ambient Weather? Because that's what I have and I'm about 99% sure that 1.32" in Waukee is my station.
It looks like this network to me.
