The National Guard and Army Corps of Engineers, plus a lot of volunteers, expected to complete a secondary levee to protect Hamburg, Iowa by Wednesday evening. Missouri River floodwaters pouring through a breached levee have inundated parts of the town and hundreds of acres of farmland in the area.

We flew over the area Wednesday, courtesy of Express Flight, Inc. of St Joseph. Hal Keck piloted the Cessna-172.

Somewhere along the way we discovered the “Hamburg Flood Page” on Facebook. The author graciously allowed us to post pictures from that page here.
