  Out here on the 'West Coast' of Iowa we have only had, in the past two weeks, a total of 7 1/4 inches of rain. We live on the west slope of Iowa's Loess Hills and when we look west out our living room window we see 15 miles across the Missouri River Flood plain to the Missouri River and the Nebraska hills. For the first mile and 1/2 approximately 1/2 of the cropland has standing water. I suspect this land will have no crop this year; either flooded out or unable to plant or re-plant. 


  7 miles south of us, along the hills the Little Sioux Scout Camp experienced a tornado. You must have seen the publicity/news coverage on it. The water in other parts of Iowa has been unprecedented. We have B&B guests who knew people who lived through the tornado in Parkersburg, IA, who subsequently purchased a house in Cedar Falls/Waterloo, IA, and have since had the house flooded out.


  Don't know about Nancy Trask. Maybe we're losing some Covered Bridges in Madison County.
