neighborhood that i'm in is about as bad as it it gets. it's still under three feet of water for the most part. all these homes behind me evacuated for several days in this town of colfax a few dozen people evacuated and they're not going to be able to get back for some time and with the threat of rain, the future looks very uncertain. bigger city in iowa of 50,000 people and there the town water system was knocked out and no one has drinking water or water running into their homes. the weight of the ground saturated with water caused the underground water mains to crack and now they're bracing to try to repair them. they're out of water for several days. donations of ration water are coming in and people are making due. again, everybody is watching the forecast hoping it doesn't rain too much more as the forecast does suggest. >> all right, ron, thanks so much. as ron mentioned, those forecasters predicting another day of storms in parts of iowa. bill karins, exactly what they don't need. unfortunately, they're not alone
