iowa has had some very bad weather the last couple years too. we got hit by a tornado last year went right thru downtown iowa city, then we had the worst ice storm in years followed by the worst blizzard in years, then we had a shitload more tornadoes then a shitload of flooding all summer long this year then winter comes along and we get more ice storms and more blizzards cant wait till spring so we can start the cycle all over again

I remember this time of year from my 6 yr in Lacey WA. It would rain for days on end and windstorms would knock your power out for days at a time. House temp would get down to about 56 before power would be restored. Killed all my daughter's fish one year.

things around here are starting to get cleaned up...we've started pulling all the insulation out from under the house and already took a load to the dump and got the garage hosed out....my car is starting to dry to but still has just a little dampness to it...driving around neighborhoods all you see is piles and piles of stuff in front of peoples houses...FEMA is here now and hopefully there will be some help to people here...it's very sad..entire farms have been wiped out and there's still 1 school that has had up to 2 feet of mud in it...but the really nice thing is seeing everyone pulling together and helping neighbors out without being asked...makes me glad that we live here in this community...remember the red cross this christmas, they really are some of the most wonderful people i've met...merry christmas everyone...remember to be thankful for what you have...

Glad you're getting thru this Mom. We were on fairly high ground so the floods didnt' affect us so bad.
