Was thinking of making a similiar post. I do live near the Mississippi River in Iowa. River drive has become literally part of the river. A creek generally that is almost non-existant flooded over the overpass and flooded some normally 'safe' homes. I didn't see it but I was told it was quite the sight. I should get new batteries to take a picture of a car that someone had tried to drive through the floodwaters in but didn't realize that the car ran on air and not water. Yes, I'm making light of that person's stupidity. The cities across the river that has a levy it's pretty noticable that even there the river was threatening to spill over the levies. We were lucky that the little creek near our home didn't flood anyone in our community.
