Boone County Storms

BOONE, Iowa---Heavy rains and strong winds created quite a few problems in Boone County Tuesday night. Winds caused quite a bit of tree damage considered by Public Works personnel to nearly equal the damage cleaned up from a major wind storm just three weeks ago. Heavy rain on saturated soils created flooding problems, closing several roads, including Interstate 35 and US Highway 30 at Ames. Excessive rain in northeast Boone County caused massive flooding in Ames, leading to numerous evacuations.
