message: There's some discussion of the early-season flooding in Iowa.  Perhaps someone could get a picture from there? IIRC, it did quite a number on Des Moines. Renaissongsman 14:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ever since the Iowa Flood of 2008, I've been researching both the Great Flood of 1993 and Hurricane Katrina. Cedar Rapids was damaged by the Flood of 1993. From watching my city's downtown area become submerged, I learned about a storm that happened from July 4th-July 5th in 1993. My house wasn't hit either time.

message: I can't believe that the barn pic is the best thing anyone could find. Doesn't anyone else remember the river roaring through that levee breech and just annihilating that farmhouse, then bulldozing all the trees for a quarter-mile?--Mike18xx 08:27, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: better pic needed

message: This article states that the was the impetus for the creation of a new airport (KCI) away from the river, in reference to the downtown airport.  I thought that the need for KCI arose out of the fact that the runways of the downtown airport could not be expanded to handle larger jets, constrained by local geography (one end of the runway ends right at the river).  There were other reasons for building it way out there that had to do with planning the growth of the city, and though I'm having trouble pinning it down, I don't recall the need to escape the possibility of the river flooding being a significant factor.  Anyways, I'll mark that segment as citation needed for a bit and see if anyone knows the answer.  --Reverend Loki 16:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The damaged airport was Fairfax Airport in KCK (where TWA had its overhaul base and where Mid-Continent Airlines delivered the airmail).  I rewrote the section to make it clearer. Americasroof 17:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone should document the controversy between what the Corp of Engineers says and what academics (who imho know what is going on) say about what historic flood volumes were and how the Corp changed historic floods amounts, some say to make it look like the levee program had less effect on flood levels.  Books were written by Robert Criss and Pinter if I remember right.
My first comment, I hope I did it right.

:Welcome to Wikipedia!  You got it close, but not quite right.  Might want to glance oer the talk page guidelines when you get a chance.  Remember, new comments go on the bottom of the page, and always sign your talk page posts.  I'm assuming you tried to do so with the three equals signs, but that's not the right symbol to use.  The best way to sign is with four tildes (~), which is found in the upper left corner of your keyboard (most likely, anyways).  I also highly recommend that you create an account and sign into it whenever you make an edit - helps you to keep track of what you've done, as well as creates a unique identifier for yourself on here, and makes it easier for people to leave you messages.  Anyways, you make some excellent points... --Reverend Loki 22:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: since this is an article on a US flood, and the rest of the article uses US units with metric conversions, I'm wondering why there aren't primary customary units in the intro.  --J Clear 02:01, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

message: There's a link to wife in the causes section which I think should be removed. The page on wife doesn't bear any relevance to this page and the presence of the link only serves as a distraction to the reader. Note, I'm not proposing to change any of the text, merely to remove the link (I'm not sure if it would be considered a minor edit which is why I brought it up here).

message: No. No it wouldn’t have. St. Louis was built on top of the western bluff of the river valley. Even at 52’ of flood it would still have another 40ft of flood before it topped the “first” street downtown. Come on. 2600:1700:7AA0:CE90:A166:2F33:1377:6EBA (talk) 07:30, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
