This is crazy! I thought it was bad down there...then I watched a bit on BBC international news and sourthern Minnesota and northern Iowa were highlighted following, of all things going on around the world, the latest living conditions in Ethiopia. well, my college town of Decorah, Iowa in northeastern Iowa is a beautiful little river town usually...now, it is not doing well at all. it's actually freakishly flooded. i am seriously wondering if I should get down there to help! check out some of the photos here!
here's a quote on the blog that I got the photos off of:
A huge thank you to all of the amazing people of Decorah who are endlessly watching out for neighbors, family, and strangers all the same. Despite incredible sandbagging and pumping efforts, some houses on the West side and in the extreme east end of the flats have very serious flood damage. Thankfully, there are no fatalities from this disaster.
This is officially the highest flood in recorded history for the NE Iowa area, however there are neighboring parts of this region that are being hit even harder.
Our thoughts go out to everyone who is up for a second night in a row, pumping, pushing, and carrying water…. think dry
