Today we had downpour after downpour as a line of thunderstorms “trained” over our place. During the band concert in the high school, water dripped through the lights of the auditorium and the rain did not stop. Water was waist deep on some streets in Marshalltown. Most of the county received 6 inches of rain.
The debris and runoff from the adjacent field collapsed the fence around the willow nursery in the back pasture.
A wider view of the temporary river where water generally does not flow. It was a depressing sight, to drive around and see all the topsoil being washed away in nearly every bare field.
