I've been in the Iowa/Nebraska/Missouri/Arkansas area the past few days. It's a freaking nightmare.

Here's my video from Omaha the other night if you haven't seen it (watch the volume on your computer):

Reminds me of the floods in 1996 in the St. Louis area.

3rd Street in Cedar Rapids. This street is part of the historic Czech Village neighborhood in Cedar Rapids...we're about 1/4 mile from the river here. Notice the 3rd Street sign in the lower center of the picture. The block in the middle is a sign out front of the funeral home.

Des Moines officials order voluntary evacuations

The Des Moines River overpowered thousands over volunteers, outflanked countless sandbags, and forced city officials today to order voluntary evacuations by 6 p.m. for large sections of the city on both sides of the swollen waterway.

Downtown Des Moines’ levee system is in danger of failure, officials conceded.

...

Police Chief Judy Bradshaw emphasized that the evacuation is voluntary, but added: “As the circumstances change, this may become mandatory.”
