This is just one way how people end up homeless through no fault of their own.
Building on a flood plain is no fault of their own ?
@@danasmith85818 inches of rain in days…is no fault of there own. Anywhere is a flood plain then.
@@danasmith858 savage.
@@danasmith858screw em! MAGA
No, these kind of homeless are different…because these people would accept help from the shelters and follow the rules…and they also all already work or receive social security if they are old enough. Whereas majority of the “homeless” living on the streets refuse to enter the shelters because they don’t want to follow the rules and don’t want to do the programs…they don’t want to stop using drugs and don’t want to have to work and follow orders of an employer….they say in interviews all the time that they would rather live on the streets so they don’t have to follow rules and they refuse the shelter people when they come around….they chose to live the way they are living…they don’t want any responsibility. The people that just had their homes damaged by floods aren’t like those other people. It’s not the same thing.
cant brush off a flood and sweep a flood under the rug. its not possible
This hurts my heart. Seeing Iowa inpacted by flooding.
Hello, iowa from CA, our thoughts are with you...
send some money instead of thoughts
Without "prayers" almost worthless.
@volkerengels5298 Geez I sincerely meant it. CA has its fair share of floods and fires and I thought about what Iowa is going through. I did not expect to get snide relies.
@@user-gt4qk2we6q I apologize.
'thoughts and prayers' don't lower emissions...?
When the biggest polluters per capita complains about harsh weather - 'hypocrites' comes to mind very natural...?
@volkerengels5298 Are you talking about CA? CA is the most populated state and the 3rd lowest carbon emissions per capita . I grew up in L.A. area and it was much more polluted when I was a kid than it is now and I am in my 70s now. CA gas is higher than other states, and we have regulations that other states don't, but it's because CA has been trying to cut carbon emissions for decades. Notwithstanding efforts to reduce emissions cli.ate change does not recognize state boundaries and we are in this together . Take care where ever you live .
I used to live in Spencer, IA.
It’s odd seeing your old apartment complex underwater
I live in sioux falls, sd. One of the storms was stretching from grand island Nebraska all they up to Minneapolis mn.
Your in my heart and prayers! I can’t even imagine what you all are going thru😢 our homes are our piece of heaven on earth. Wishing you all the best all the way from Utah❤
God, this is awful. Thoughts and prayers from the UK.
That sucks! flood insurance is going to be to much to afford soon with all these floods across the country.
Wow 😮 that’s tragic! Omg 😱

Since this report fails to mention it, or even say the words "climate change", it's important to note that for every 1° C increase in temperature, the air can hold 7% more water. The consequences of global warming, without a doubt, contribute to and intensify these now-frequent extreme weather events.
Just asking - a lot of these towns are built on flood plains - what the game plan? We can't keep saying this is the 100th "Once in a 500 year flood" We had two of those were I live.
The game plan is to keep on burning fossil fuels. Can you say exponential? Gonna get a LOT worse. This is just the start of "you can't be a denier any longer without admitting your profound stupidity".
@KennethGreenCMP Your comment seems to downplay the effects of climate change. I'm sure that was not your intention as you'd have to be monumentally stupid to deny the science and destruction playing out across the world
@@richardh8082take August 1955 in CT for example , 24 inches of rain in one month , 2 hurricanes in one week . Last July there were 13 inches of rain making it the second wettest month since weather had been recorded. The scientific formula states that for every one degree warmer , there is 27 percent more moisture in the air , 1955 was 2 degrees cooler than today's average temperature. Florida rainfall record for a month stands from the late 1800's. Take a look yourself at every states record rainfall , many pre date the term climate change / and Al Gore
@DouglasHeeren when it's not the first time the town has flooded from the river, then it is near or on the flood plain. If you can see the river from your town it's on the flood plain
How about the towns and cities built on fault lines? How about the towns and cities built on coastal flooding areas? How about the towns and cities in tornado and hurricane alleys? How about towns and cities prone to drought and wildfires? Shall I continue?
The faster everyone realizes our way of life is unsustainable the better.
you reap what you sow. thats how it works
He said the river was a half a mile away. That's just crazy. Since the people don't have flood insurance then I guess it's not considered a flood plain area. Water up to the rooftops is no joke. If that dam collapses there will be a huge surge of water down that river and well above the river banks. I see some people had sandbags around their homes but that won't stop a water surge from a collapsed dam. It will take months to replace that damaged train trestle/bridge. The costs are going to run in the hundreds of millions of dollars to repair the ruined infrastructure in that entire flooded area. How do people even prepare for a flood like that. They don't. I doubt they can stop a repeat flood of such epic proportions as global warming continues. The elderly residents won't ever recover knowing how expensive repair costs are for homes and vehicles and having no flood insurance coverage. It's a very unfortunate situation.
Climate change isn't a pink pony.

@@Raydensherajwow
110 yr old dam? 😮 I would assume they had worked on it many many many times since then. Wish they could've replaced or caught something that made it fail. 😱🤯😭 This is horrible!
It’s a shame all of these places near rivers or in flood prone areas haven’t built some sort of water rerouting system that could carry excess water somewhere else….like those concrete canals they have in California. I often wonder if something like that would even work to prevent flooding where houses and buildings are. Or maybe zoning laws should change and make everything built in a possible flood zone or near a river be required to build higher off the ground so they don’t lose everything when this happens….especially because it’s very difficult to clean up from this amount of water damage.

"Everything ist normal. prayers and thoughts" Phrase Kiss
Hey it’s summertime Iowa, this is normal. I remember a flood that happened 20 years ago.
Cope
This flood is far worse, your denial of reality is pathetic
Why is this normal?
Why is it still considered normal 20 years later? Hasn’t a solution been discovered yet?
You're totally blind to reality
As someone who has lived in Iowa almost 40 years, it's true. Massive floods hit in 1993 and 2008 and it's very common to have flooding. In 2018 Ankeny, Iowa had a 10" rain in just 60 minutes.
Uncle Amos said...this is what 100 plus years old US infrastructure looks like... get it?
Bbbut they passed a few trillion dollar infrastructure bill (with only a tiny portion for infrastructure) and hasnt been used on infrastructure!
@@chhansen9813 - Keep telling those lies.
Real Americans know that expenditures from federal programs are documented public record and see your propaganda for the lie it is.
Humanity held hostage
The water cannot soak into farmland without deep roots, biology in the soil. We must shift our farming practices for the sake of the farmers and the consumer, and stop padding the wallets of corporations. You can’t eat money.
Born and raised in Iowa. Most farmers practice good techniques like no till and all that. Also the water soaks into the soil pretty quickly due to the soil being some of the richest top soil in the nation
@@Eric-xh9ee thanks for the correction and for being kind about it.
@@matthewsaxe6383 yeah no worries. It takes a long time for the water to soak down to the aquifer. Our water table is very high up here with all the lakes around so. The water table is about a foot below the surface where my parents live which is excellent for farming -- no irritation needed but not the best for building houses.
@Eric-xh9ee my folks are from southern Illinois, corn and soybeans, I lived there when I was a kid. Very little biological content in the soil. It's all pasture here on Orcas island where I live. About 2 inches of topsoil.
@@matthewsaxe6383 oh wow. That's not much. We have around 18 inches or so. God bless
Maybe they should go ask the billionaires to help them they gave them all their money!!!
You haven't?
Exactly, where is their God trump
They are demons. They want to keep their money.
Noem gets to show how effective she is. You go girl
Noem's in South Dakota, not Iowa or Minnesota, General. She's a farm girl. I'm sure to the extent the flooding extends to S. Dakota, she'll be managing it to the extent it can be managed. The real test will be for governors in IA, MN, and IL now, in MO and KY in a few weeks, and so on as these floodwaters drain towards the Gulf and will fill up the floodplains all along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers for the next few months. New Orleans is in for a heck of a fall, especially if they have bad luck with hurricane season. Levies under construction around Lake Pontchartrain, but not quite ready for prime time. Ah, flashbacks to 1993!

This is so sad. It’s time to wake up to climate change and do something about it
Keep ignoring the scientists.
At this point I envy the naive and those in delusional denial😢 knowing the truth is a great burden and a sadness
@@billyjoesmo8251 honestly dude I think we may be past the tipping point
The scientists who get cut from grants if they dont follow the narrative, those scientists? LMMFAO!
yOU CLIMATE CRAZIES ARE THE PROBLEM!
@@billyjoesmo8251 Yea, the truth is global warming/climate change is all 100% BS!
7 seconds in, how long will it take for them to blame climate change for normal flooding in the Mississippi flood plain? Let's find out. Well! Color me impressed! Nearly 3 minutes of accurate coverage of severe weather, properly identified as weather within the normal scope of weather patterns for the region. A little personal interest sensationalism is to be expected, but no hyperventilating, politicking, or spin, just accurate reporting about the flooding and potential for continued flooding downriver. Credit where it's due for actual journalism, at least 3 minutes of it.
I like your observation, but I do have to ask, how is 6 feet above the previous record "normal flooding in the Mississippi flood plain?"
This ain't normal.
Apparently you need a dictionary to define what "record" means. Also, you claim to want "no" "politicking or spin" then hypocritically ignore science and reality to attempt to spin this news clip so you can parrot lies and urge people to ignore science and everything they see.
Congrats??
Who can endure his wrath! Slavery occurred in Iowa prior to 1846, but the extent and significance of slavery in pre-state Iowa is poorly understood. Little is known about slavery in Iowa prior to the Louisiana Purchase. The area that is now the American state of Iowa was part of New France when first settled by Europeans. As such, it was governed by its slavery laws.
I live on a hill in South Carolina. Highly unlikely that will ever happen here. I would hate that.
Maybe shouldn't make God unhappy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Newscaster Jonah Kaplan, there is no need to wade into the dangerous water.

This is what happens when we mistake politics for governance. All public owned infrastructures - dams, bridges, wastewater treatment, wastewater treatment, power lines, cable lines, schools, fire, police and rescue need to be maintained and FUNDED prior to ANY tax write offs from individuals or corporations.we have gotten to the point where fake and self serving “charities” have taken priority over genuine public priorities. It is far less expensive to maintain levies and dams than the cost to respond to the initial disaster when they fail, repair all of the damage from the fail, and rebuild the entire dam. Why is there never enough money to do something right to begin with? Why are Americans so myopic? Why do we keep repeating the mistakes we made instead of learning from them? Surely after the New Orleans levies failed during Hurricane Katrina we learned that we could not afford to let these things deteriorate? It’s the PEOPLE who live in those areas responsibility to hold the local, city and state leaders accountable for maintaining the critical infrastructure in your area. You are paying the salaries for the people in charge of those facilities. Politicians are so busy running for office they are not doing the governing they are being paid to do!
You lost me at "is" 🍻
Remember, "charities" includes religious buildings. Churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, etc..
they need more numbers. what number for flooded and lost everything?

I wonder what the area will look like in 10 years as the planet keeps warming.

THE POWER OF WORDS = 2024 $$
Words are the most powerful tools used by man
As hearts and souls reach for one another.
Sharing feelings of fear, wisdom and joy
Or our love for a significant other.
Where would we be without words
Which inspire, unite and motivate.
Songs, poems, stories, blogs, books,
Wars, religion, love, lust and hate.
Jesus preached words to the multitudes
And nourished their hunger within.
The stories we tell portray our spirit
As examples of weakness, triumph or sin.
When we fail to control the rage of our thoughts
What is easy to say becomes hard to forgive.
Words are visions that portray our intent
The better we communicate, the better we live.
