South Skunk River Floods Recede | Des Moines News

Flooding on the South Skunk River in Jasper County, Iowa, hit a high of nearly 19.5 feet—but officials say it’s peaking and falling, with no evacuations planned. Pumps are holding, infrastructure is intact, and while water cut off fairgrounds access and threatened Highway 14, it’s not a worst-case scenario. Still, 150–160 damage reports include flooded basements up to three feet deep and even washed-out walls. Cleanup and recovery are just beginning, but the community dodged a bigger disaster.
