Well...not yet anyway. Last night was a serious scare because Little Sioux, where this tragedy happened is a little more than 30 minutes from where I live.

With the flooding: the town where I live is it at a high altitude so there is a slim chance that we could be flooded here. A town nearby (where I work) was nearly flooded last night with streets filled (curb to curb) with water, rivers in grass between houses, and large puddles on the sides of roads even this morning!

The situation in Des Moines is not getting any better as I'm typing this. From what I've heard on the news this afternoon, a water levy broke this afternoon and flooded the rather large city of Cedar Rapids. Downtown DM is still flooded but considering we had NO rain today, it should have helped people down there prepare for possibly anymore rain and more flooding. At least I'm hoping...
