Above, many new and used vehicles at Bluffs Toyota, 3554 South Expressway, were inundated when the parking lot flooded. Below, a retaining w all next to new apartments along Franklin Avenue tumbled to the ground. Ph.oto by Darklne Rowe • ., 2 Friday, September 10, 1999 The Flooa of '99 The Daily Nonpareil Photos tell story of record rain It rained intermittently all day on Friday, Aug. 6. By early Saturday morn- ing, the rainfall turned into a deluge and obliterated a record that had stood for nearly a century in southwest Iowa. The storm tha t hit Council Bluffs and the surrounding area was an historic and memorable one. In a span of less than 24 hours, it dumped an official measurement of 10.48 inch- es of rain on the area, break- ing the record set in 1903. Area residents awoke to find a mess left in Mother Nature's path. Streets and intersections were flooded, retaining walls were washed away, bridges were damaged, cars were seen floating down city streets, basement walls collapsed, parks were under water, sewers backed up and, in some instances, peo- ple were forced from their homes. Many residents saw a lifetime of memories washed away by the flooding. But such storms can also bring out the best in people. By mid-morning Satur- . day, residents were helping their neighbors clean up after the storm. Cleanup efforts for some were com- pleted in a few days. Others are still strug- gling as they try to return their families' lives and living quarters to pre-flood status. "I've never seen it this bad," said Council Bluffs Mayor Thomas Hanafan shortly after the rains ended. • He had taken office just months before a series of tornadoes devastated the west side of the city in 1988. Extra firefighters and police officers answered the call to help deal with the emergency situation. Red Cross and Salvation Army personnel and volunteers immediately mobilized. A disaster declaration brought federal and state officials into the area to help assess damage and offer assistance. As the mayor noted, there is no way to adequate- ly prepare for this type of situation. Area residents will long remember and want their children to remember the record-breaking storm. Thanks to the pho- tographs ·submitted by Nonpareil readers, this spe- cial section will help capture and preserve those special events. Those who submitted flood photos may pick them up at The Daily Nonpareil office, 117 Pearl St., beginning Monday. Photos cannot be mailed back. Photo by Duane E.
