Here are some aerial photographs of flooding in Iowa from Columbus Junction, Fredonia, Lake Odessa and Muscatine. The images of flooding in Columbus Junction are unbelievable. My mom told me that floodwaters were as high as the pop machines at the Economart in Columbus Junction and that was after some of the flood waters had receded!

I uploaded all 54 aerial photographs to my Flickr account: “Aerial Photos of Flooding in Southeast Iowa.”
Omg. Omg. Omg. These are just horrible to see. Just horrible.
My thoughts continue to stay with you and your family and your community Eric…

I moved away 5 years ago, I still try to keep updated a little on whats going on around that area. I seen this website and took a look at it manly becuase of the names on it. I know I would see emotional pistures here. I seen these and it brought tears to my eyes. I had worked at Economart though High school and after. This was unrealistic to see.
