Des Moines Iowa Flood - Waters Rising

[iluv2viddyfilms]

I feel wrong about liking the video, because the implication is that I may like the subject/content and I certainly do not like that it was flooded.

[JESILEE171519]

wow i havent seen this yet.. the levee that broke in riverview was literally right behind my house. thank god we were on top of the hill there or we would have been fucked. i was born in the flood of 93, im really glad that we didnt lose water or anything like that durin this flood. i was extremely suprised to kno this was a 500 hundred year flood and the one in 93 was only a 100 year flood.

[riverdwell]

Wow, I grew up in Des Moines in the 40s and 50s and didn't even know about the flooding until this guy moving into the apt. (I'm now in Sacramento) opposite me said his dad was in Des Moines, working on the flooding problem. So checking it out here now; terrific video, and I appreciate the captions, too. Wow. Used to flood in spring, but I'd never seen it like this!

[ZER0V1dzz]

AHA i love seein the water like this though. i don't care about the flooding we get really.

[scooterbmxskate]

[xXEquestrianStarXx]

[Jmoney1001]

this video sucks. it is wack

[willerdogg]

Could tiling all the fields around there cause this?

[ISUSharpie]

No it's was excessive amounts of rain over the period of one week.

[jumpdance24]

Why the hell did they build the river so close to the city if they thought it would flood ?

[jumpdance24]

Do you really think so ?

OR do you think I just might have been having a joke, which you have so obviously NOT realised.

Far better to let people 'think' you are an idiot that to open your mouth and confirm their suspicions. lol

[jumpdance24]

Ohhhh dear !

Both spellings are correct.

The root late Latin word was 'realis'.(with an 'S')

In some cases the American spelling of a word is more historically correct than the current English variant.

If you had bothered to look at a dictionary (your special needs Tutor may have one) you may have modified your response.

Once again:

Far better to let people 'think' you are an idiot that to open your mouth and confirm their suspicions. lol

[max2950]

Is this spaghetti works at 3:11 ?

[mheidelberger]

Mesmerizing

[AJuner78]

good editing job. Thanks for sharing.

[rsist34]

I live in Des Moines and the water level is normally 20-30 feet below the roadbed in the video its less than 10 feet

[joethebouncer]

The socalled flood of 08! lol it was all Propaganda!!! kinda.

[Eman1110]

I live in Iowa and i can say that it was not propaganda! Thousands had to evacuate. Thousands lost everything. Thousands now have nowhere to live. Thousands now have nothing left.

[pumpy25]

yeah were was the media on this...i dont see mayors and govs complaining on tv about FEMA, or sean penn or kanye west talking about people stranded, or free hotels in chicago

[EHS1234356]

yeah...so true

[vfgjhj]

I live in Des Moines on the East side but we didn't get any flooding fortunately.

[colinkrohn]

[chupiperea]

Its amazing how Des Moines, Iowa isn't even a coastal city and its flooded like this! How many residents have had to flee and where are they staying?

[xPOPIESEEDx]

thousands in iowa had to flee. i live in iowa and its getting much better, the water level is dropping, but in some places it just keeps getting higher, like iowa city.

[Eman1110]

[johnchandara]
