The 6 o'clock news is dominated by flood reporting in Iowa. Saylorville Lake is at the center of it all. Des Moines is flooding and rains in northern Iowa are creating 33,000 cubic feet per second inflow to the lake. The outflow is 16,000 CFS. Flood control is an illusion but the corps of engineers does a very good job unitl Mother Nature decides to remind us who is really in control. Like now.
We watch the water rise and know the only thing we can really do is get out of the way.
My thoughts today are summed up about like this.
Until tomorrow...
Unfortunately, local Denver news has not covered weather, flooding in Iowa. I need reports/updates from my family, please !
