Not sure if we have any Iowans here. Some pics a friend of mine sent me who has family in Iowa:

D.B.O. Not a club; a state of mind.

Yeah, that is a real mess for those folks.  Floods are difficult to bounce back from.

My house is situated about 200 ft. from a large creek, but luckily I am elevated above it quite a bit.  The flood plain map doesn't show elevation, so I am required of course to carry flood insurance—which is damn expensive!  When you see those pics from Iowa, then I don't feel quite as bad having the insurance even though it is unlikely I'll ever need it.

Iowa is not a place that comes to mind when I think of floods, I guess you never know.
