The story on The Weather Channel


The Lake Delhi dam overtopped on July 24 and the earthen section to the left of the spillway washed away, draining the lake and flooding residents downstream on the Maquoketa River.

This week, the South Skunk in Ames experienced record flooding.


Hilton Coliseum on the Iowa State campus - Bring you swim suit if you have front row seats. The water was 9 feet deep.


Scheman Center on the Iowa State Campus, where the Society of Land Surveyors of Iowa holds its annual conference. It’s a three-story building.

I spent nearly a week at the Scheman Center back in 1977 when it was very new. I had no idea that area was possibly subject to flooding. Wow!
