Gusty winds continue across the area, Sunday

Weather

April 24th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Special Weather Statement…Gusty Winds Continue this Afternoon…
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
135 PM CDT Sun Apr 24 2022

Sac-Crawford-Carroll-Audubon-Guthrie-Dallas-Cass-Adair-Madison-Adams Counties…

Another day, another round of strong winds for large portions of the Iowa continues this afternoon. As a strong low pressure system north of the area slowly pulls away, winds across much of the NW half of the state will be strong and gusty.

Northern sites have seen largely periodic SW sustained winds to 30 mph and gusts in excess of 40 mph thus far. Winds have been a bit less vigorous down into central Iowa, but remain strong with sustained SW winds 25 to 30 mph and gusts to around 40 mph being seen.

The strong and gusty conditions will last through much of the remainder of the afternoon/evening, easing around and after sunset. Winds will also slowly shift out of the W.

Trailer toppled over by high winds in Montgomery County

News

April 24th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Elliott, Iowa) – A trailer being pulled by a pickup was blown-over early Saturday afternoon, by winds gusting upwards of 60-miles per hour. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday (Today), said the accident happened around 12:59 p.m. on Highway 48, west of Elliott.

A 2019 Ford F-150 pickup driven by Kelly Hastings, of Glenwood, was traveling west on the highway and pulling a 2020 enclosed Formula Trailer. Strong wind gusts caused the trailer to sway. and become unhitched from the pickup. The trailer ended-up in the ditch on its top. Because the empty trailer was secured to the pickup by safety chains, the pickup ended up on the north shoulder of the road, facing south.

No injuries were reported. Authorities estimated damage to the trailer at $8,000, while the pickup sustained about $700 damage.

DRINKING WATER HEALTH ADVISORY – City of Massena

News

April 24th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Massena, Iowa) – Officials with Massena Water Supply have issued a Drinking Water Health Advisory for the City of Massena, due to plugged filter media, which the City is working to replace. Officials say sample results received (4/20/2022) showed manganese levels of 0.49 mg/L. This level is above the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) short-term health advisory (HA) of 0.3 mg/L for infants under 6 months old.

Manganese is a naturally occurring element found in soil, water, and air. It is commonly found in the food we eat, including nuts, legumes, seeds, grains, and green leafy vegetables and in drinking water. Our bodies require small amounts of manganese to stay healthy. Adults and children get enough manganese from the foods we eat. Infants and children get enough manganese from breast-milk, food, or formula.
Too much manganese can increase the risk of health problems, particularly for infants under 6 months old. Infants are more at risk than older children and adults because their brains and bodies are quickly developing. Formula-fed infants get enough manganese from formula to meet their dietary needs. However, they may get too much manganese (above the recommended amount for nutrition) in their bodies when formula is mixed with water that contains manganese. Infants exposed to manganese over 0.3 mg/L may experience learning or behavioral problems. Adult’s drinking water with high levels of manganese for many years may experience impacts to their nervous system. EPA established a lifetime health advisory level of 0.3 mg/L which means adverse health effects are not expected below this level.
This health advisory is being provided because EPA identified health risks from short-term exposure.
What should I do?
  • DO NOT GIVE TAP WATER TO INFANTS. Formula and other food preparations for infants under 6 months old should not be prepared with tap water. Use bottled water or alternative sources of water for infants. Making formula or foods with water containing manganese levels above the health advisory can increase an infant’s risk of health problems.
  • DO NOT BOIL THE WATER. Boiling, freezing, or letting water stand does not reduce manganese. Boiling can increase levels of manganese because manganese remains behind when the water evaporates.
Adults and children of all ages can continue to bathe and shower, brush their teeth, and wash clothes, food, and dishes in tap water. If you have specific health concerns, you may wish to consult your doctor.
What happened? What is being done?
Filter media plugged and we are currently in the process of replacing it. “We anticipate resolving this problem by (as soon as possible). You will be notified when the manganese levels are again below the health advisory level. For more information, please contact City Hall at 712-779-2295 or 100 Main Street.” *Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.*
