Another night of heavy rain, around 3 inches. With three nights of heavy rain the rivers in eastern Iowa are all above flood stages. We drove downtown Manchester again today and noticed that the flooding was even worst than yesterday. Many more building are under water and now homes have been affected. We are still ok in the fairgrounds campground. Hopefully we won't have problems getting back on the road on Monday. This is a big deal in town and the town is full of people checking out the flooding. Many of the other towns in eastern Iowa have also been flooded and one dam about 10 miles from here cracked and will probably break and flood the town. No rain expected tonight and we hope it dries out tomorrow.
