Flood waters in Ames invade Hilton Coliseum.

I'm not sure if the water came in from ground level or came up from a rising water table below.

it took a long time for those waters to rise.. would have thought that the school would have taken the floor and nets and moved them.

They should call Guinness Book of World Records and claim "World's Largest Surfboard"? Lemons to Lemonade!

A friend of mine is a Big Iowa State fan and Alum and he is like on the phone all the time talking to his old friends in Ames about the situation there.
