Report after surveying Iowa flooding from the air

Posted by S. Dawn Casey on June 18, 2008 |

S. Dawn Jones reports on her observations of Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, and other small Iowa towns from the air. She says that the further south she got, the fatter the Mississippi River appeared, making towns like Toolesboro into islands. Areas where the water had receded were obvious because they appeared like swampland rather than green. She also saw houseboats stuck next to a bridge, another type of “lost” home that wouldn’t have been expected. (2:51)
