Heavy Rains Raise River Level

A large tree gets hung up on a dam in the Cedar River in Charles City.

Heavy rains in Northern Iowa and Southern Minnesota prompted the National Weather Service out of Des Moines, Iowa to issue several flood statements. As of 11:45 AM today, the Cedar River in Charles City was at 9.56 feet and falling. The flood stage for the river is 12 feet.

Very cool photo, I especially like that it's black and white. I didn't see it in color, but I'm guessing with the weather around here lately and the color of our river water, the colors wouldn't have been very pretty. I really like the perspective, too.
