DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Nearly 7 inches of rain have deluged parts of Iowa that just two weeks ago suffered from flooding.

While there were reports of water over some roads and highways and local streams overflowing, no serious problems were encountered, officials said.

As much as 6.8 inches of rain fell in northwest Adams County and 6.5 inches had fallen in parts of Guthrie County, said Ben Moyer, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Johnston.

“It has caused some flooding across the counties down there, a lot of high water, some local streams and creeks are out of their banks and several highways are closed at points,” he said.

The Iowa Department of Transportation said Iowa Highway 25 south of Interstate in Adair County was closed. I-80 along with several other roads was at risk of being closed, officials with the agency said in a news release.

The heavy rains prompted the weather service to issue flood warnings for Adair, Adams, Cass and Guthrie counties. Flood warnings also were issued for the Nishnabotna River in southwest Iowa and the Raccoon River in Des Moines.

Bob Kempf, the emergency management coordinator for Guthrie and Adair counties, said much of the water had receded in Guthrie County with only a couple of roads still being flooded by midafternoon Thursday.

In Adair County, the Middle River was continuing to rise and covered several nearby roads, he said.

While there are some rural farmhouses near the river, no one was reporting any problems, Kempf said.

Bret Voorhees, bureau chief of Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency, said despite the heavy rains and flood warnings, no counties have requested state assistance.

“Unfortnuately it is in the same area affected by flooding a couple of weeks ago, but no requests for state resources have been received,” he said. “We are in close contact with local emergency management officials, but we haven’t received any requests.”

The flooding that occurred two weeks ago caused about $26 million in damage, according to preliminary damage estimates released by the state.

Gov. Chet Culver requested a federal disaster declaration for 18 counties, seeking assistance for both public and private property.

Harrison County was particularly hard hit, with more than 70 homes and businesses being damaged by the flooding in Missouri Valley alone.

Moyer said the forecast contains drier weather for Friday with rain returning on Saturday, before drying out again on Sunday. Rain returns to the forecast for Memorial Day.
