    Flooding around East side of Des Moines

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Earthbound78 shot these photos of flooding in Des Moines, Iowa, today on August 11 in the afternoon. She says her basement is flooded but losses amount to some wet carpet, luckily.
    - nsaidi, CNN iReport producer

    Des Moines has been hit by severe storms with rain fall up to 7" nightly causing flooding everywhere.  These pictures are from the Grandview area off of Hubbell and E. Euclid.  There are several major streets closed off by the flooding of four mile creek and a mobile home park and apartments that are severely flooded.  Personally I am experiencing some flooding in my home, although no where near as bad as some.  There has been reports of waist deep water with raw sewage in basements and people losing everything.  I am thankful we only have an 1" of standing water in our half finished basement where our bedroom is.  I haven't seen four mile creek flood this bad for years, possibly since the flood of '93.
