Iowa Braces as Flood Threats Persist Across Iowa
Iowa faces continued flood threats as the Iowa River crest arrives lower than feared amid levee breaches downstream. Governor Culver calls it a small victory but warns of major flooding on the southeastern border. Evacuations rise with more than 36,000 people moved from 26 towns, including Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. Sandbagging and river-lock activity pace up across Ottumwa Burlington and Bellevue, while 30 inmates assist in protection efforts.
