I'm from Iowa, and Iowa, being in the center of the United States, doesn't get any cool natural disasters like earthquakes or volcanos, right?

WRONG.




Well no, okay, you're right. We do get natural disasters, but they aren't cool.

We've been getting hells of rain these past weeks, and it just won't fucking stop. Maybe you remember hearing about "The Great Flood of '93" on the news back in 1993, but this shit makes that look like a fucking kiddy pool.



This is what downtown is supposed to look like:

And this is what it looks like as of earlier today.

I'm just going to fill up the bathtub now and stay in it so when the water gets to me I'll have gills and shit already. Please give me advice on how to carry on with life after I've become an abomination that is neither fish nor man.

    What the fuck has been going on in the weather lately?

    31 earthquakes in nevada the other day.

    A half mile wide tornado

    It was cold as fuck in california a couple weeks ago

    and now this flood.

    Am I the only one who thinks this is odd?

    Look at this shit
    "We're just kind of at God's mercy right now, so hopefully people that never prayed before this, it might be a good time to start," Linn County Sheriff Don Zeller said. "We're going to need a lot of prayers, and people are going to need a lot of patience and understanding."

    When you get told to start praying by state officials you know it's going down in a bad way.

    I'm right on the Mississippi. Right on it.

    We've only barely officially flooded. For a couple of days River Drive had some puddles. That's about the worst it's gotten. The local minor tributary flooded a little more, but not near as much as we were expecting.

    On the other side of the river, over in Iowa, they're sandbagging public buildings in the rain right now.

    Luckily, I am quite far away from the water. If the water gets to me than that means that dozens of miles of city are underwater.

    But the city is literally cut in two right now with all the roads flooded over and so many businesses and such are going to be lost causes. I wasn't exaggerating when I said that this was making the Flood of '93 look pathetic. The entire city is under order to not use the city's water supply except for drinking, and a couple power stations might get shut down because of flooding.

    fuzzball, it's too late for sandbagging here. Those buildings in the OP are the city hall and the sheriff's office. The public library's first floor is completely flooded and I wouldn't be surprised if right now the folks at the Art Museum are getting all the shit up as high as they can.
