Lightning strikes like this one pounded Johnson County. Its one of those things we hope we dont experience very often. At one time the lightning so intense, it forced firefighters down from ladders, away from their trucks, and away from the fire. With so many calls in such a short time, firefighters called in backup from volunteer departments around the county, and they were forced to triage, or prioritize, calls. Yesterday was very unique and it did stretch the system a little bit, but luckily we were able to overcome that. But Fire Departments from other towns had issues of their own. In coralville this house on poplar street was struck by lightning, fire Officials Say it caused up to 40 thousand dollars in damage. Luckily there was enough available man power to get things under control quickly. One big issue throughout the storm the thunder and lightning was so intense it kept setting off sending firefighters on investigations. Several of these were actual Lightning Strikes that caused something burnt in the building, someone heard the alarm from outside that was triggered by the lightning, so they have to investigate all those as those are real.

The hawkeyes have several injuries, including to both starting offensive tackles. Even though theres been some shuffling on the oline, the hawkeyes still rushed for 572 yards in the last two games. Throughout camp, we mix andmatch lineups realizing that during the season, different guys are going to have to play different places. Obviously, Brian Ferentz did a great job in game week realizing what we were going to have and the best way to fit all the pieces together. Injuries have also piled up at the running back position. It was Leshun Daniels and jordan canzeri to start the year, then just canzeri, and last week carry the load. I said in august that i though we had four backs. And i also in august that wed need all four of them before it was all said and done. I didnt realize it would be by the seventh game. Hopefully, this week will give us a chance to get leshun back.
