Heavy rainfall continued across portions of central and northern Iowa through mid to late September. This allowed rivers across the area to go back into flood through the latter portion of the month. The West Fork of the Des Moines River remained in flood at the end of September and will be included in the October StormData event as well. The basins impacted by flooding were the Des Moines, Cedar, Winnebago, Shell Rock, and Boone River basins as well as Black Hawk Creek at Hudson.
