Parts of county receive over three inches of rain

Rain moved through the Northeast Iowa Friday morning, giving the area yet another soaking it didn't need. The northern part of Chickasaw County received three inches of rain, sending water over roads. Sandbagging took place in several communities, including Protivin, where the water from Bohemian Creek surrounded Polashek's Locker around noon. Although that water was receding as of mid-afternoon, other streams and creeks were still on the rise, with another round of rain threatening in the late afternoon.
