The phrase 'climate change', or any wording closely related to it, is avoided here.
Northwest Iowa was beset by record flooding over the weekend after extreme rainfall, leading to a disaster proclamation from Gov. Kim Reynolds and the evacuation of thousands of residents.
Some parts of Iowa received more than 15 inches of rain, causing water levels to surge and levees to fail. In much of northwest Iowa, rivers reached levels that had not been previously recorded in data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or the U.S. Geological Survey. [emphasis added]
Near Rock Valley, one of the areas hit hardest by flooding, the Rock River exceeded its previous highest-recorded crest by more than 5 feet in the early hours of Saturday morning.
