Montgomery County mostly escaped. Pole barn damage west side of county. 1 14-16 in diameter branch to cut up in my back yard and the chainsaw starts so just a bit of sweat and gas needed.

Muscatine took a battering.

I was literally pulling into the Costco parking lot (huge covered garage) when it hit. Probably the worst place I could have been - but nothing happened.

Late to this thread - don't stop in to the Iowa forum often enough these days.

Waukon and Allamakee county got hit really hard from June 21-23. We had at least 12 inches of rain in 48 hours (may have been more, our rain gauge was full twice.)

We don't have a river in or near town, but the downtown area had flash flooding the likes of which most longtime residents have never seen. The video store had water in the basement that came up high enough to buckle the floor of the store and then part of the floor collapsed. The hardware store had a full basement, a small area of buckled floor and anywhere from 16" to near 3ft. of water in the store. The newspaper office (which you have to go up about 4-5 steps from the sidewalk to enter) had water that was waist-deep in the office. And the cellular/computer store was a total loss with 4-5 feet of water in it. In addition, the flooding sparked a fire in a popular bar, too. The apartments upstairs had to be gutted. The main part of downtown and one block of 1st St. were blocked off for three days while businesses worked on clean-up.

The downtown area sits down in a little valley and all the water just ran down into the downtown area and the storm drains were completely overwhelmed. Of that 12+ inches I mentioned, at least 6 inches fell on Saturday night into the wee hours of Sunday alone. Many people with flooded basements and the Upper Iowa was very flooded as well (overwhelming already way-behind corn fields). The Upper Iowa didn't quite make the flood record from 2008 though. Yellow River State Park also had a lot of damage and had to evacuate people on ATV's. I can't remember ever seeing rain the likes of which we had that night. It just poured and poured and POURED- lots of thunder and lightning too.

And guess what?! Braindead actually came to visit our town!
