It seems Iowa can’t get away from bad weather recently. I’ve already had water in my basement this year for the first time in more than 15 years. Then the tornadoes hit in Butler County, southwest and south central Iowa. Now we’re seeing the remnants of storms that swept through Iowa causing some major flooding in and around the Des Moines area. I’m always proud to say how resilient Iowans are. Maybe we’re that way because we have to be. No matter what Mother Nature throws at us, we just keep on the best way we can.
