Yes, that says 21.8 inches in 24 hours around Dubuque and it's still raining. NOT GOOD.

You can get the same image on their new www.wunderground.com site, but I'm stuck in my old ways :)
 
I am still anchored here. I was lucky the worst of the heavy rain was south of me. I had three inches. Just four miles south they had fifteen. A neighbor went to bed at 9 pm and woke up at 4 am to find the White Water river had washed his fat cattle lot out. He had 160 head in the lot and so far has only found 110. Twenty plus have been seen drowned. The river had never came within five hundred feet of the buildings before. Farm been there since 1870s.

I have fence out all over the place. Just about every water gate is gone. We pinned all of the stock cattle up by the barns. We can feed them there for now. My oats are a loss. Just windrowed them Wed. They will be bedding at the best now.

Corn fields have gulleys washed in them. Harvest will be fun.

The damage is going to be real bad. Many roads are still under water so how bad they are washed out is not known. State Hwy 151 is still shut down and might be for a while. Some of the concrete maybe damaged.

The trouble now is the North Fork of the Maquketa River is rising. Dyersville, Cascade, and others down stream may still get flooded.
