Dubuque area set up better to handle high water and still function.
the dubuque pool is three corners and the Sorceror stomping grounds ay???

just took a quick glance at lock 11, dabuque. They are expecting to reach flood stage around the 29 or 30th.
Hope your right about dabuques pool as that would also be a short travel for me.

here are some predictions for lock & dam 11

pools here in LeClaire & Quad cities have many homes and buisness lining it. Sandbagging prep has been going on here for last week & half. My home is on the top of the hill here and I get to safely watch river from back patio.
City was here at work today filling kritter holes in our levee's today. near future here looks pretty sh!tty.
When weather breaks Im sure you'll be seeing me near your river..
