Iowa Flood Scene Disrupts Rail and Farms Amid Cloudburst
A historic Iowa flood floods lowlands from a cloudburst like downpour. Quarry’s stone arch bridge washes out and 100 feet of track suspends midair. Horses and cattle drown or swim for land as the Chicago Northwestern Railway halts entirely. West of Lamoille another washout forces detours, while the Great Western line is crippled by two smaller washouts near Luray and Mingo. In the south Linn Creek floods threaten towns and soldiers rescue residents. Dewey’s soldiers’ home is destroyed.
