Crop failures seem like something fictional until there is nothing to eat.

My heart goes out to all those affected. In 1993 we had so much rain over a lot of Iowa. Our town sits on the highest part of the county but there was so much rain (8 inches in one day) our normal sump pump couldn’t handle it and ended up with 3 ft. of water in our basement. A mess to clean up. Thank God it was just in our basement. We had a basement drainage system put in after that, worked like a charm

Aside from the devastating effects on farmland and the landscape in general, so many people don't have flood insurance. We were told we can't have flood insurance because we ARE in a flood plain (about a mile south of spillway). A friend in Spencer was told they aren't eligible for flood insurance because they AREN'T in a flood plain. So many people so horribly affected and nowhere to turn.

This should be on the national news!

The old timers around here had a saying. A dry year will scare ya but a wet year will hurt you

I’m a trucker and got stuck down there during this. I managed to get out but, holy Toledo… In 13 years trucking, I’ve seen flooding but, nothing like this. I was a hundred miles outa route trying to get around this stuff. Couldn’t tell you how many roads I went down that ended up being under water. It was wild. Still is wild, as far as that goes. Talked to the FD at one of the road closures and they said every house in the area has water in the basement. The amount of damage is going to add up to an insane number. God be with these people.

We are so far removed from each other that people do not care until it affects them directly.

This will take us years if not a decade to recover from. So many people have lost everything and so many fields under water. It happened so fast. Train bridge collapsed, homes collapsed. Horrible.

Thank you for this timely heartland America news update! (With all that's going on, including all the additional harm that's potentially out there from unfolding events, this info surely deserves nationwide media coverage!)

Drove from my farm in east central North Dakota to Aberdeen sd this last weekend. Not one good field the entire 150 miles. Ponds all over.

My family lives in Spencer Iowa & their basement is flooded. So many people have lost their homes completely & my heart is breaking today.

Stay safe! We have to except and prepare that this may be the new normal. A lot of people, towns and cities will need a lot of help! We must ALL pull together!!

do you remember the floods in 1973 in the entire midwest and 1993 in MO, Iowa, Neb, southern Minn, and Ill?
-
Thank you for posting this video, excellent conversation!
-
Oh my! I have not heard about this. Devastating. 😢
-
I remember the Flood of '93. Keeping all those affected in my prayers. Please, folks, take climate change seriously and demand that your towns organize to do maximum resilience preparation. We can do it if we put our heads together. GOD BLESS!

Prayers going up . This is so devestating.
