Iowa remains in a state of emergency as massive flooding continues to devastate much of the state. At least 36,000 people are homeless. Three million acres of Iowa’s farmland is waterlogged. Eighty-three of the state’s ninety-nine counties have been declared disaster areas. Iowa City, the home of the University of Iowa, has been hit by the worst flooding in the city’s history. Sixteen buildings at the university are flooded with as much as eight feet of water. Seven more are at risk of flooding. In Cedar Rapids, 24,000 people were forced to flee their homes. In Des Moines, Iowa’s capital, the Des Moines River broke through a levee on Saturday. More than 200 homes, a high school and three dozen businesses were inundated.
