Catastrophic flooding in Iowa damages nearly 2k properties

Historic flooding in northwest Iowa has left communities underwater. Nearly 2,000 properties are believed to have been damaged, and hundreds destroyed. Some cities are struggling without power, while others have no drinking water. FOX 9’s Courtney Godfrey has the latest.

    I send my prayers to your community. The city I live in had its "1000" year flood 11 years ago. Many people had airlift rescues. My home was spared because we live higher up, but everyone else on my street had severe damage. FEMA was in my neighborhood. Whats funny , the city I live in is a mountain community. Yes, we have floods too. I know how floods affects a community. 11 years later, some homes were never rebuilt. FEMA did a risk assessment for my state and I live in the area with the greatest risk for fire. Keep us in your prayers too. 3 times in the last 4 years I had evacuation orders because of fire. The world with climate change is very scary. It touches us all

    @@MrLinuso Obviously you don't follow global events, old man. Big flooding occurrences are breaking out randomly all over the world. A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture resulting in these rain bombs. Most of the additional heat retained in the atmosphere from the gargantuan increase in greenhouse gases is going into the oceans, bringing more evaporation as well. The climate has changed and will only get worse.

Maybe the feds should send checks already made out to the vendors for you next time. The blue states are tired of giving you money to blow on flea markets and meth.

    Manmade "Climate Change" is a globalist scam. The SUN controls the weather on this planet. The Earth goes thru cycles of hot and cold periods. Co2 is plant food. Do some research and don't believe the mainstream propaganda. The govt doesn't care about our health or saftey. They want a scared, divided, distracted and disarmed population. They are much easier to control.

    When Gump visited the U.K. in June 2019, he had tea with Prince Charles. The Prince took the opportunity to try to explain accelerated climate change caused by global warming to Gump, a science illiterate who hates to read and dismisses it all as a Chinese hoax. Prince Charles gave it his best shot. As reported in the Guardian, Gump sat there bored and his eyes glazed over. At the end of Charles' explanation, Gump perked up and proudly announced that he had received awards for his properties having the "cleanest climates." He then said the water has to be crystal clean and the U.S. has the cleanest climate. Gump went on to say that he believed the scientists were lying to get rich and everything would be fine. Prince Charles was aghast at the man's ignorance and realized he'd wasted his time on this crude dunce. He just gave Gump a sad half smile and look of pity and told Gump he liked his shoes.
