The Rain Continues Here - Flooding Back in the Quad-City Area

I was in Moline High School in 1965, when the we had the great flood. The high school cancelled classes to let students help sandbag. We sandbagged my father's donut shop, which sounds rather funny, but all his supplies were kept in the basement. Downtown Moline was largely spared.

Last night we had supercells passing through Springdale, tornadic clouds that were dark and circulating close to the ground, with little rain.The thunderstorms came after the supercells and have continued, off and on, this morning.

Our street sends water down to Scott, where it heads down to White. The hardest hit areas will be the many golf courses in Bella Vista, which have flooded along the creeks with less rain than this.

Last night until this morning - 3 inches of rain fell here.
