If you've had a conversation with anyone in Iowa recently, you've no doubt talked about the weather. As of most recently, flooding. Not like puddles here and there. Flooding resembling the historic floods of '93. Towns evacuated, bridges washed out. Water everywhere.
Just as a bully kicks you when you are down, nature has dealt a sharp blow to towns dealing with tornadoes with heavy rain and flooding.
We have gotten rain pretty much every day or every other day for over a month now. All the water has finally topped the levees and flood gates around the midwest. With significant rain predicted for tonight, one can only guess how much more devastation will be unleashed.
Except for the one bad day, Ames has been somewhat spared. Basements have taken a hit, the city ball fields are now open for fishing, but other than that, we are doing ok. The only real way I have been affected is my big Ag Leader project being a month behind almost.
Maybe with a little luck, the weather pattern will change. However if you start to see animals lining up two by two.........
