Well, with 60+ counties declared disaster areas in Iowa, there have been a few deaths (three or four, I believe). But it seems like most people are taking evacuations orders/voluntary evacuation seriously, in their local areas.

Also, part of I-80 has been underwater. This has created havoc with trucking of goods and supplies for countless businesses in eastern half of Iowa. And of course, this affects passengers in their own vehicles, who now have to take much longer, round-about routes to their destination. All this until I-80 reemerges from the water, and then after it's cleaned up, and declared safe to use again.
