Floodwaters on Normandy Avenue in Iowa City

Andrew Sherburne wrote on the Little Village blog:

“As soon as the waters die down, there will be many questions that need to be asked:

Why can’t the corp accurately predict the inflow of water into the reservoir? Why didn’t the city give homeowners the time they needed to save their belongings? Where was the foresight after a record snowfall to empty the reservoir at an earlier date?”

Good questions.
