DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – This spring is now the wettest on record in Iowa. State Climatologist Harry Hillaker says statewide average rainfall of 16.4 inches as of Tuesday morning is the most rain in March, April and May in 141 years of records. The previous record was 15.5 inches in 1892 and normal is just over 10 inches. That explains why Iowa rivers are overflowing shutting down roads, flooding basements, and sending emergency managers into flood planning mode.
The worry is another storm system is bearing down on Iowa bringing the potential for heavy rain. One factor that may have prevented a devastating flood so far is last year’s drought but that benefit has faded and Iowa is at a tipping point for major flooding if heavy rain comes in the wrong places.

Authorities in Montgomery County investigated a rollover accident that occurred this (Wednesday) morning, about 2.5-miles east of Red Oak. Officials say a 1993 Mercury Topaz driven by Samantha McCuen, of Villisca, was traveling west on 200th Street at around 7:10-a.m. McCuen told authorities that as her car topped a small hill, it was met by a white vehicle traveling in the opposite direction, in her lane of travel. McCuen was unable to provide any other details about the oncoming vehicle.
She swerved to avoid a collision, and in the process lost control of the car, which slid about 219-feet sideways before hitting a culvert. The car then rolled three times before hitting a power pole and coming to rest. The vehicle was a total loss. Damage to the power pole was estimated at $500. A fence owned by John Henningsen also sustained damage, but a dollar amount was not available.
No injuries were reported, and no citations were issued.
An electrical problem was apparently responsible for a fire that damaged a house in rural Shelby County, Tuesday afternoon. Irwin Fire Chief Lynn Gaskill says the fire at 2247 County Road M-56 was reported at around 4:15-p.m. Gaskill says when they arrived, flames were coming through the roof and appearing outside the house. He says they were able to knock down fire on the outside and make entry into the home to contain the spread to one room of the house and the attic.
Crews from the Defiance and Manning Fire Departments provided mutual aid for Irwin Fire. Firefighters were on the scene for about 2-hours. Gaskill said the damage to the home was contained to one bedroom and the attic. The damage was estimated at around $25,000. No injuries were reported, as the residents of the home were on vacation.
