Areas along the Cedar and Shell Rock rivers in Cerro Gordo, Floyd, Mitchell and Worth counties saw between four and nine inches of rain during the storm. These four counties received a state emergency proclamation on July 19.
Local officials report that no deaths or injuries are associated with the storm.
Initial local reports indicate primarily basement flooding, although the flooding has isolated one community and may have caused a train derailment. The situation in Plymouth has not been reported to be critical and the isolation is expected to end as floodwaters recede. In Worth County, a train hauling hydrogen peroxide was derailed. No release of hazardous material has been reported and a local hazardous material team responded to the situation. The EOC was expected to stand-down by late yesterday afternoon.
