Flood Threat Verifies...





















Over the last few days we were worried about flash flooding across the area Wednesday night and early Thursday...and boy were those concerns warranted! Flash flooding caused big problems in Geneseo this morning as well as in many other areas mainly south/southeast of the QC. Geneseo schools were closed due to the fact that many roads (including one of the main drags through town) were covered in water. In the Quad Cities we escaped with only about 1 inch of rain, but places down to the south/southeast picked up as much as 3-6 inches of rain! Burlington was also hit hard and flooding was problematic through portions of Des Moines county in Iowa. Attached are a couple images of Doppler estimated rain totals across the area...
