    Wow we must've passed by each other. I just got back from the ISU center 10 mins ago and took almost the exact same pictures...

    Spectacular to behold, but the devastation is going to be formidable...

    Any chance we get our hands on some FEMA money to bowl in the endzone?

    And they wonder why there's a rivalry. Like there weren't more important things to go with than that garbage.

    Re: Lake Ames

    Well, looks like I won't be going up to Ames today. Was going to move a few things into my new apartment...but from what I've heard there's no way to get there. Hopefully this clears up soon before most of the students move up in a few days or it will be madness.

    I couldn't get past Campus from South Ames either I spent an hour trying different routes, but then thankfully work canceled.

    Tell me about it. I live in Nevada but work in Ames. I spent 2 1/2 hours and 60 miles trying to find a way into work with no luck. Ames looks worse than it did in 93.

    '93 I got stuck on the east side of the river. Lived over on Lynn Ave.

    Ended up having to drive north of Story City and still drove though some water I really shouldn't have - solid hour plus to make that normal 10 minute trip

    It's astounding how cutoff one can be in Ames during these situations.

    So this should quadruple the mosquito population? What a mess. I feel bad for all of those affected.
