Episode Narrative Thunderstorms with heavy rain were triggered by an upper level disturbance moving across Iowa toward northern Illinois. Excessive rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches occurred during the late night of April 24 into the early morning of April 25, which caused flash flooding. Runoff from the heavy rainfall kept water levels high through the end of April on the Turkey River and Mississippi River.
