This was the most water Himself and I had ever seen in the ditch. There is a culvert down in that ditch that carries water under the road and into the lake. Normally the culvert can keep up. We have seen water in there a few times. Once, in early spring, the culvert was frozen and the water backed up -- but it didn't back up this deep! That ditch in the photo is holding about 8 feet of water. I am amazed and shocked at this and simply cannot imagine what people in Iowa City, Cedar Falls and along the Missouri River feel when the water comes up and up and UP, in their homes.

Is this at II? How much rain did you get?
This is the ditch at Too, that the bridge goes over. I took this standing in the road at the corner, looking up towards the cabin but you can't see the cabin anymore -- it is about grown in.
7" in one morning after an extremely wet spring.
HOLY COW!!!!!! I didn't recognize it either!
