In the past 2 days NE Iowa and SW Wisconsin have been hit with major flooding. For those who were on the Fennimore ride last year, the roads we were on in northern Allamakee county have been affected, as well as the roads in Crawford county. Gays Mills has flooded severely. Too early to tell the extent of damage to the roads, but no doubt it's going to take some time to get things put back together again.
The Upper Iowa river flows through Decorah, where I live. The river hit record levels yesterday, but fortunately the levies held. If you are interested, there are pictures from around my area at these links:

To give you a little perspective, the river crested at 17.9 feet yesterday. The normal level is about 4 feet.
Hope our other GSR members are doing ok. I know we have members in Cedar Falls, IA and Iowa City, IA - and those cities are also likely to have record floods.
