ill say a prayer for you and yours bro, that sound really serious. if you find yourself in a position to ponder should you stay or go, i would suggest error on the side of caution! since the midwest deals with flooding fairly often i made sure to buy on some of the highest ground in missouri, not much help when it comes to high winds and tornodoes though! i hope ya come out alright,
fast eddie outty
 
I myself am fine I am in one of the highest spots in the county
coralville/iowa city is about 30 miles away and they will be getting a ton of flooding now that its over the spillway at coralville lake
my girlfriends folks live in cedar falls tho but they are up high
 
That sucks.....I hope all is well for folks that you know in the days to come.

Hooch, I feel your pain. I live in a flood plain and these constant storms, hail and tornado warnings are beginning to get under my skin. During the last big flood in Kansas, the local paper printed the photo below of a guy who was concerned about looters. The photo speaks for itself. Between the two guns and the can of Bud, I have no idea how this chucklehead would manage to pull off a shot. If he saw a looter (highly unlikely in his neck of the woods) he would probably fumble and end up dropping both guns and the beer in the water.

my outlook on storms has greatly changed after the tree/car trying to take up the same space. it changed quick

my prayers go out to their familys
 
I have seen the devil and he is bearing alot of water :(
spent 6 hours sandbagging my friends shop and evacuating him we had 40 people and uhaul gave us trucks free
we put special stoppers in all the basement floor drains and when we left one was squirting water 2 feet high
the shop is considered 6 feet above the flood plain and in the huge flood of 93 the water was just up to the street in front
sadly the police say this beautiful huge art gallery type tattoo studio could be 6ft under water in 2 days :(

Man this whole thing is crazy. I heard they were doing voluntary evacuations of Des Moines today, and they said it will most likely be mandatory in the next day or so as the river will crest. Hope everyones doing ok out there. My grandparents live in Iowa, they said their doing ok, but to get to their house, we would have to take a 190 Mile detour!
