Sandbagged

I just returned from helping sandbag my Mother's house.

Yesterday and today was spent packing up belongings and moving some out, also we tried to get them higher in her home.

The crest of the Des Moines River is expected between 8 p.m. and Midnight.

I think the big problem will not come from the River topping the levee, but the levee itself getting so saturated that it will breach.

I noticed a real brain sturgeon, and the scientific community is united in that fact, hosing down his driveway in the Union Park area.

Because he's not in a directly affected area, he didn't care that he was taxing an already overtaxed storm sewer system.

I heard Dummycrat Representative Wayne Ford try to blame the media for his finger pointing.

Here's what was in the Ragister...

officials have not been responsive enough since the 1993 floods — and help is coming too slowly now. He said there aren’t enough sandbags to protect homes and businesses in the area and he worries about flooding at North High School, directly across Second Avenue from the area being evacuated.

"...If we can protect Sec Taylor stadium, we should also be able to protect North High School.”

If they misquoted you, say so.

He's been in the Iowa House since 1997 and hasn't done anything to press the issue until now, during a natural catastrophe.

The reality is he was caught not being a team player and he's performing CYA.
