<p>Farewell and good luck to future and continuing ISU students.</p>
<p>We’re packing up our DD and looking forward to move in day! It looks like there is some terrible flooding in the area. We’re praying everyone is safe and that all will be well very soon.</p>
<p>GLAW,<br>
I’m in Minnesota and we had a heavy thunder storm come through last night. It was probably the same system.</p>
<p>I’m sure your move in will go smoothly. I assume DD will be there for Destination Iowa?
My son will move in later next week.</p>
<p>Safe travels, everyone.</p>
<p>Yes! she’ll be there for Destination Iowa. She’s also decided to join the Move-In Crew.
She figured she would be able to meet a lot of kids and help out at the same time. </p>
<p>We talked to a few people today in various departments and the word is that the campus will be closed tomorrow due to the flooding. Water is shut off and folks are rushing the grocery stores for bottled water. I sure hope everyone stays calm and remains safe.</p>
<p>ames is pretty much inaccessible as of right now. My roommate called and said he is essentially stuck in the apartment, and it might get worse thursday and friday.</p>
<p>Yea, I spoke with my son last night. He got the news of the flood off Facebook. Probably best to keep an eye on the Iowa state website for more info. The website says students can move in as scheduled though.</p>
<p>Also, city of Ames website has info.

<p>A lot of roads are opening up today as the water levels decrease. The water boiling is still in affect, but from what I have heard everything is getting back to normal. Keep in mind a storm is expected tomorrow (Friday) which could change the status of the improvements. </p>
