Louisa County braces for flood crest near 26 feet
In Columbus Junction and Louisa County the crest near 26 feet above flood stage 19 is anticipated. Officials doubt actual damage will occur as homes were moved after 1993 and 2008 floods. The Army Corps reduced Coralville Lake outflow to 1000 cfs to ease pressure downstream.
