A Des Moines area water treatment plant serving about 250 000 people shut down as floodwaters rose past 15 foot dikes. Seven electric substations flooded leaving about 30 000 without power for at least a week. Gov Branstad called the damage unprecedented as Mississippi and other rivers flooded, forcing 30 000 from homes and causing 18 deaths since late last month. Regional damage exceeds 2 billion dollars with 44 additional Missouri counties declared disaster areas. Vice President Gore planned to tour the waterlogged region.
