A historic Flash Flood event hit the Des Moines Metro hard on Saturday night with between three to ten inches of rain falling over just a few hours on the evening of 30 June 2018. The featured plot is of NOAA MRMS rainfall estimates from the event and are actually underestimating the totals some given the overlain reports from the NWS. The initial Flash Flooding has given way to more long term flooding with impacts to be felt for days to come.
