tamatoledonews.com- Governor Chet Culver praised the quick action of citizens and emergency personnel in response to a dam break at Lake Delhi today which sent the Maquoketa River cascading downstream, causing flash flooding. Culver says it appears the immediate danger has passed, and while damage is mainly due to agricultural flooding, communities downstream of the Maquoketa River are prepared for possible impacts.
