A COLLECTION OF STORIES: SPENCER, IOWA'S 2024 FLOOD
THE COLLISION OF THE SWOLLEN OCHEYEDAN AND LITTLE SIOUX RIVERS AT SPENCER, IOWA EARLY SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 2024, FOREVER CHANGED A NORTHWEST IOWA COMMUNITY
The water, which had been filling the rivers' watersheds after several days of heavy rains, poured into unsuspecting neighborhoods and the historic business district within a few short hours. Officials described the increased volume of water as a flash flood with an estimated 600-800 watercraft rescues performed by local officials, neighbors, volunteers and concerned citizens that day. The bloated rivers and flooded storm sewers engulfed more than two-thirds of Spencer's homes, churches, and businesses, claiming the life of one out-of-town visitor. Many expressed gratefulness that the dark, murky flood water arrived during daylight rather than the blackness of night. This anthology, sponsored by Arts on Grand of Spencer, was written by residents, rescuers, business people, and volunteers, who recognized the urgency in preserving the historic details and personal accounts from that fateful day.
