Director Of Iowa Flood Center Says Weather Extremes Likely To Be More Intense, More Frequent In Years To Come

Spirit Lake, Iowa — A sobering warning from the Director of the Iowa Flood Center at the University of Iowa.

Dr. Larry Weber says those of us living in the upper Midwest need to be better prepared for the impacts of extreme shifts in weather patterns stemming from climate change. He says both the intensity and severity of drought and flood events is likely to increase further.

Dr. Weber was a panelist at a public informational meeting last (Tuesday) evening in Spencer about the flood that ravaged northwest Iowa this past June.
