My town is practically all flooded and the main road is out. We have DUKW's roaming around checking peoples houses. Anybody else having this problem?

yea in delefield a dam might break and if it does it will probably break the one thats keeping my lake then a whole chain of 7 lakes might drain and cause major flooding downstream

Yeah my backyard is flooded and suprise, it's been pouring all day.  There is so much water everywhere.  Some parts of my town are inacessable due to roads being under 2+ feet of water.

I live in Iowa and we're seriously getting fucked by flooding.  Cedar Rapids, Cedar Falls, and Des Moines have all been fucked by the floodwaters as well as a bunch of small towns on the river that I cant remember.  I live in Iowa City and we are about 5 feet over the flood stage, so everyone in the city including myself has been sandbagging pretty much all week.  Several neighborhoods I've helped are now lost causes, and along the university they have a 7 foot high levee being built.  Most of the main roads in town that connect the cities are closed, so its hard to go anywhere.  The real kicker is that the water hasnt crested yet... its supposed to rise ANOTHER 5-6 feet by next saturday.

Were Fucked.

I may go down there and help sandbag later today if my teeth feel better from this wisdom tooth surgery.
