Heavy rains overnight are bringing the floods back to Mason City. Just when we thought we were past the worst. Our rivers had dropped to 10' (7' is flood stage), but are projected to crest again back to 18' later today. They hit almost 19' earlier this week. All those houses and businesses I have shown cleaning up in the pictures below will once again be under water.
This time we will be prepared, but the really frightening news for the rest of Iowa is that our flooding will soon be moving downstream on top of them. Every River in Iowa is at record flood stages.
The Federal response in Iowa remains virtually non-existent and another body was recovered in a rural area south of Mason City yesterday.
And of course all of us are grieving for the young men who lost their lives and were injured at our Boy Scout camp last night.
Please call your congressmen and tell them to tell Bush to get off his ass and protect the homeland instead of talking about invading Iran.
