Ice jams, water block roads

“That's the first step toward a disaster declaration that could lead to some federal financial help”

Melting ice in Iowa's rivers and culverts Friday caused floodwaters to cover roads in Boone and Marshall counties and ruptured a natural gas main in the Des Moines River at Fort Dodge. via Des Moines Register

Why do you people live in Ia. anyway. The weather sucks, there are no good jobs and that small town charm that everybody talks about..... Bull S***. You people get into your little clicks and you hold on tight sceared to death somebody from the outside will come in and take you sons position on the baseball team. Because he might play for the Iowa Oaks someday and you don't want anybody to screw that up. That is if you suck the coaches ass enough so he can play tha position you have chosen for him. Sit there up to your asses in the ice and snow!!!!!!!!! Have fun.
