Officials in Ames have been busy through the night after nearly five inches of rain inundated streets and homes. Bob Kindred is the assistant city manager of Ames. He says they had 3-to 5-inches of rain which didn’t cause river flooding, but streets were flooded. A number of homes had water in their basements and cars were stalled out on the streets.
Kindred said the situation on the Iowa State University campus was not as bad, because of the lay of the land. A flash flood warning expired at 3:30 this morning but Kindred said there are still reports of flooded streets in Ames. He said water was still 2-to 3-feet deep on some City streets as of 4-a.m., and a number of cars were damaged, abandoned in-place.
Ames police, fire and city staff plus Story County Emergency Management spent much of the night assisting residents impacted by the high water.

Officials in the Postville School District are forfeiting tonight’s (Friday’s) football game, due to health concerns. Postville superintendent Tim Dugger. “We’ve had several cases of confirmed impetigo this week,” Dugger says. “In order to protect our students and protect the students of the North Linn School District, we have offered to cancel the game.”
Impetigo is a highly-contagious skin condition. It usually occurs in children under the age of five and is rarely found in adults. The superintendent says there is NO health threat to the general student population in his district. “The issue is with a few of the football players and the close quarters when it comes to athletics,” Dugger says, “so it is particularly confined to that group of students.”
Dugger says students who’ve contracted impetigo are undergoing the standard treatment. “They are on antibiotics and then we are requiring potential cases to be reviewed by a doctor,” Dugger says, “to be cleared by them.”
Health officials say the recovery time for impetigo is usually three days, so Dugger is confident all cases will be cleared by next week. According to the Mayo Clinic’s website, someone with impetigo is no longer contagious about 24 hours after they start taking antibiotics. The rash from impetigo typically heals without scarring. Postville’s homecoming game is NEXT Friday.
