Dickinson County (Iowa) leaders met in emergency session this afternoon and will implement a no-wake 5 mph boat rule on all county lakes beginning Tuesday afternoon due to extremely high water. This includes Iowa's largest natural lake (Big Spirit) and deepest natural lake (West Okoboji), along with several others (East Okoboji, Minnewashta, Upper and Lower Gar, Center, and Silver).
Unfortunate for my summer tourism driven community, but necessary.
We have been simply inundated with water over the last few days. And there's more to come, with wind.

I read but don't post much, hope I did this correctly!
