Floods in the West Reach Record Scope in Iowa and Sioux City
Reports from Mason City and Sioux City describe the greatest freshet in years. In Rock Falls Iowa the Shell Rock River surged, destroying the iron bridge and dam, flooding town, and causing extensive property damage estimated at $25,000. Families escaped via upper floors and ice floes as homes collapsed. The Missouri flood above Sioux City broke an ice gorge near Elk Point, washing away rail lines and flooding vast lowlands as authorities carved a ditch to divert waters.
