Statement as of 1:24 AM CDT on May 20, 2013 ... Flood Warning remains in effect for Mower... northern Floyd and Mitchell counties until 800 am CDT... At 120 am CDT... emergency management reported that flooding was occurring across much of Mitchell County... and the southern portions of Mower County... and the far northern portions of Floyd County.

Some locations that will experience flooding include... Austin... Charles City... Osage... Adams... Brownsdale... Floyd... Grand Meadow... Le Roy... Lyle... Nora Springs... Riceville... Rockford... Rose Creek... Rudd... St. Ansgar and Stacyville. Reports out of Mitchell and Mower County still indicate that widespread flooding is still occuring... though there is some very minor improvement.

Do not attempt to travel unless you have to. Stay home... stay safe. Highway 218 between Osage and St ansgar is closed. Precautionary/preparedness actions... Excessive runoff from this storm will cause flooding of small creeks and streams... country roads... normally dry washes... as well as farmland along the banks of creeks and streams. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. If flooding is observed... act quickly. Do not enter the water. Turn around and move up to higher ground. Do not stay in areas subject to flooding when water begins rising. Flooding is occurring. It is important to know where you are relative to streams... rivers... or creeks which can become killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or creeks. Lat...
