Drone Footage of Extreme Flooding in Iowa

Flooding has swamped parts of South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. Six river gauges have broken their all-time records, with two more forecast to break records this week. A wide area of 8-12 inches of rain fell in the area over the last week, with some spots seeing more than 15 inches. This drone footage from Spencer, Iowa shows cars, businesses and homes underwater. #flood #flooding #spencer #iowa #shorts

    We live a just little north of Spencer and in the last 60 days, we measured 65 inches of rain. There was another 13 inches of rain that fell in a 24 hour period and then the next morning Spencer was flooded. 😢

    I'd like to see a map that shows the areas in the U.S. that have suffered devastating floods over the last 4 years. One of populated areas, one of unpopulated areas and one of both.

    That part of the little Sioux floods often. Heavier than normal rains caused the water level to raise less than 10 feet higher than the previous record if I remember right.

    Spencer sure didn't see this coming... it is so surreal. Some of us still are without electricity and/or water... some have lost everything. EVERYTHING! It's remarkable though to see the overwhelming amount of spencer citizens who have dropped what they were doing immediately and still are to help each other out. Keep praying for us all... we got a long way to go.. but we will make it throigh!

    @@charlesbrown4483 It's not possible to understand if you look at it logically. You're using religion as a mechanism to help you get over your existential dread. You can't handle the possibility of there not being an afterlife, or a meaning to every little thing that happens in your life. Life is more meaningful when you aren't beholden to a religion and it's dogma. I'm not going to let a book dictate my life and tell me that this life means nothing compared to some afterlife that absolutely IS NOT confirmed. You have a belief that it is confirmed but I would like some actual hard evidence like any sane person would.

    @@francespelletier175 Other than the BAD weather and lots of snakes, there are other reasons too. Some places give you energy and some places drain your energy. I’ve lived in dozens of places around the US and Iowa drains energy like no place else. The stereotypes are generally true. The air smells bad, food is unhealthy, no culture or entertainment to speak of, but worst of all are the people, unfortunately. Pleasant on the surface but insular, critical, parochial and petty. Everyone I met who was interesting, funny, genuine or warm couldn’t wait to leave. A male from out of town (like California or some other desirable place) is very popular because maybe a woman can find a husband and get to leave. Many of the children are also homeschooled there. Which I think affects their social skills. A very sad and unpleasant state.
