Devastation in Iowa City Tonight

("Jay Honeck" wrote)
Was this the '05 storm, you are talking about?

Yep. We (Jack, Steve, Montblack, et al) got caught in the torrential
downpour midway between the bar and our tent.


NOT Montblack on that particular foraging expedition.

I was back at the Circle R Campground quickly trying to get the
Hotel-Minivan ready for the night. I closed the "hatch" just as the rain
blew through.

I ended up comfortably high and dry that night - listening to the gentle
sounds that sheets of rain make when impacting a minivan's roof ...for
hours, and hours, and hours. Campground rain gauge read 5 inches the next
morning.

They do need a temporary outdoor shower set-up during OSH. I'd use it. (Cool
water, 60-70F "on demand" water heater). They only have three shower stalls
for men - in the entire campground! My only squawk about the place. The
shower line starts at 6:00 am. Not good.
