The YMCA Cap City League announced that Cap City League games set for Sunday evening will be cancelled due to ‘a number of factors’ stemming from Saturday night’s heavy rains and flooding in Polk County. 

This is the first time in 15 years that the Cap City League has been forced to cancel games for any reason. 

The Tweet encouraged people to “stay safe and help someone in need”.

The announcement from Cap City comes after Polk County and central Iowa, as a whole, suffered massive flooding Saturday night, with Four Mile Creek suffering record flooding and hundreds of people being displaced from their homes.

The floods led to the death of central Iowa radio personality Larry Cotlar after he was swept away by floodwater late Saturday night, according to the Des Moines Register. Cotlar, 65, was the voice of Drake basketball and host of a daily radio show on 1350 KRNT in Des Moines.
