SUNNY THIS MORNING....CLOUDY THIS AFTERNOON....BUT JUST SPRINKLES.
HAD RAIN OFF AND ON OVER THE WEEKEND....TOTAL RAINFALL IN
MAY IN MAQUOKETA, AROUND 6 INCHES, OVER DOUBLE LAST MAY. SOME
CITIES IN IOWA HAD THE WETTEST MONTH OF MAY IN HISTORY. THE WAPSI FLOODING CAUSED SOME ROADS TWO BE CLOSED FOR AWHILE YESTERDAY. THE VFW AND LEGION DID NOT PUT UP THE AVENUE OF FLAGS AT THE MAQUOKETA CEMETERIES THIS HOLIDAY BECAUSE OF RAIN AND THREATS OF MORE. JACKSON COUNTY IS ONE 67 COUNTIES DESIGNATED
FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE, BUT THAT WOULD MAINLY BE FOR CROP LOSS.
NOT MUCH HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND, OTHER AND A FEW MINOR ACCIDENTS AROUND THE COUNTY. ANDREW HELD THEIR ANNUAL BRIGG'S MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATION AND IT WENT WELL. I SAW THE PARADE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. NOT A BIG ONE, BUT GOOD...A FEW POLITICAL ENTRIES OF COURSE, WITH THE PRIMARY ELECTION A WEEK FROM TODAY.
