Flood — Marion, IA

Jun 22, 2010

The series of strong thunderstorm continued to plague the state during the 3rd week of June. A large MCS rolled across the state, with the heaviest rain falling across the northern sections of the state. The heavy rainfall caused already swollen rivers to rise above flood state yet again. Flooding became more of an agricultural problem as time progressed as well. With the lateness of the flooding, the impact on crops continued to grow as late planting or replanting quickly became unavailable
