Floods in Ames

Most of you have heard about the flooding in Ames which is where my parents live.  It was even mentioned on the Today Show today.  Below are two pictures from yesterday... the first is of the clubhouse of the golf course that they live on.  The entire course is under water.  Thankfully the houses on the course are quite a bit higher up so my parents are totally dry and will stay that way.  Many in Ames haven't been that lucky.  The second is a photo of Jack Trice, the ISU football stadium and the surrounding grounds.  This is just a ten minute walk from my parents so basically all of the land in between their house and the stadium is under water.  It started to recede yesterday so pray for no more rain and a speedy clean-up process!  We'll be tailgating near the line of red and yellow tents in three short weeks!  : )
