It's the fourteenth annual WMT Great Eastern Iowa Tractorcade which some say is like RAGBRAI, only with tractors instead of bicycles.

The annual WMT Tractorcade will be in Vinton for a lunch stop, as scores of antique tractors roll through Palo and Shellsburg Monday morning for the annual 3-day event.

The City of Palo continues to prepare for flooding as they await the Cedar River to crest at 17 feet between Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Nick Sanders knew his family didn't live near the water. Lindsey Miller knew the same about hers.
