Revision as of 02:46, 16 June 2008

Nota Bene: This is essentially a work article, splitting off the Iowa section from the article June 2008 Midwest floods. Editors are are encouraged to add to this article, all the same time leaving behind in the mother article a good synopsis of what transpires here. Please do not leave templates suggesting deletion until the end of June 2008, which is about the extent of the Iowa emergency. (01:57, June 14, 2008 Ace Telephone)

Organization

The floods will be organized by catchments. In the mother article I have already started so.--Ace Telephone (talk) 02:08, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Naming

Why is "Great" in the name of this article? No media outlets are calling it that. 147.136.249.101 (talk) 04:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a back formation from the Great Flood of 1993. Great floods are great floods, and yes, this really is one.--Ace Telephone (talk) 06:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I got up this morhing and the Iowa City Press-Citizen has as its online headline, 'Great Flood of '08'. www.press-citizen.com 06-15-08 --Sephiroth9611 (talk) 15:08, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Iowa City Timeline

I was working on collating news articles myself, but Press-Citizen has this up that would be ideal for mapping out the sequence of events along the Iowa River: Flood of 2008 timeline. --Sephiroth9611 (talk) 15:07, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
