Stay Dry, Central Iowa!

Had some training in Des Moines today for work, so drove out there this morning, wondering if the Interstate would even be open. It (thankfully) was, but there was a good ten mile stretch between Colfax and Mitchellville that was heavily waterlogged- the ditches running along 80 were full in and around Baxter and if rain shows up as expected this weekend, it wouldn't surprise me if 1-80 shuts down for a day or two.

But water is receding in Ames and I-35 is back open. The trick is now to keep the central part of the state dry for a few days. Fingers crossed for 'em!
