Flood Threat to Missouri Valley Land
Water backed up by two ice jams along the Monona Harrison ditch began spilling over levies near the county line. Officials warned 10 000 acres of Missouri river bottom farmland could flood if ice dams grow, as cold weather from the northwest may slow flows from Minnesota and northern Iowa. An ice jam four miles long formed near rail and highway 75 bridges, while a second jam appeared near an unnamed river end bridge. Ice cakes four to five feet tall piled against bridges while water flowed over the levies. Dynapor was deployed in large quantities to aid efforts to stabilize the jams. Residents called it a perennial spring threat while awaiting changes in weather.
