SPENCER, Iowa - The southern side of Spencer, Iowa in particular is being devastated by the flooding off of the Little Sioux River. With water levels rising dramatically - many are saying this flood rivals or beats the flooding of 1993 that crippled the region. There is no way to cross the river in the area without driving approximately 90 miles. Emergency services are staged on both sides of town. Hospital on the north side with a fire truck and ambulance staged on the south side. Emergency services also being provided by boat as residents are still stranded. It’s unknown if the river has actually crested as the gauge has been having issues.

I'm in south Spencer but we lucked out and only got our apartment parking lot and some lawn flooded
Just sad! Prayers to everyone affected by this flooding and all the pain and misery it is causing!
i've been staying at the Reston Inn in Spencer they have Truck Parking for Truckers. Well, looks like they got flooded too. everything's flooded. wow. that looks bad. How do you fix flood damage like that and how long does that take? How many restoration companies are there? or whatever its called they need dozens of them or more hundreds. That's going to take forever to clean up.

Bring the boats up to where you can reach them, there's supposed to be more rain coming. Bad storms predicted for Modday thru Tuesday for the 5 state area. God have mercy!

Oh there’s my little DQ. I so hope we can fix it and reopen next season.
Sad!
Ain't little no more

Us we weren’t planning for it to over flow like this we have people living in my house because there houses are ruined
Sono tutti segni che presto sarete liberati in modo definitivo: aspettate con speranza e fiducia la venuta di quel Giorno. Non tarderà.
So sad been there
FATHER AND MOTHER ARE UPSET 💯📖💯
There gonna have to remove the word Little off the name of the river now.

We can stop flooding and heatwaves from causing devastations to your community and country. I pray 🙏 for everyone who has been and is still being affected by drought, heatwaves, wildfires, flooding, and sinkholes as a direct result of the climate change crisis and global warming as well as your government mismanagement. I am informing you that there's a viable solution to mitigate climate change crisis and global warming together with all the devastations they are causing, but your governments have to approve the solution Stay safe in the meantime J

There also can be legislation to stop weather modification. There are 6 or 7 states that have been aware of the weather enhancement that can be done. It has been going on for many years. Taking care of our environment is important. Listening to scientists ,instead of a politician like John Kerry, is important to get more factual information..

1. Rodger, Trump will just give billionaires and corporations another tax cut. He is basically walking out of the restaurant and leaving working Americans with the bill. Next, the floods all over the US are getting worse because of fossil fuel burning. The billions of dollars In flood losses in the upper Midwest this week are the result of warmer air holding more moisture. Trump told the oil companies he’d sort them continue to get rich while sticking working Americans with the flood cleanup tax bill!
