Flood

I live by Coralville Resovior, which was getting close to Flood Stage b/4 the rain started today and now is definately going over the spillway. Sandbagging is still going on. To relate this to snakes...I have not been able to see many, with the river flooding all my good areas and sand bagging instead of looking, there is not much to see. Lucky for me and my family we are not in a flood zone, perse. We are on higher ground and 5 miles from the river. My hubby's work is in a little danger but many homes are in great threat. The ground is saturated, it's raining and the spillway will spill. Please give us all good thoughts of saftey for the next week or so!

Re: Flood

We've had 5 inches or rain in the past 24 hours with another line of storms on the way. My wife and I were out and about today and saw a lot of flooded fields and overflowing banks. Stay safe!
