NEWS FLASH! The Great Floods of '08

Saving the world one sand bag at a time. SuperDad has been lending his super strength to help the efforts to protect down town Capital City (a.k.a. Des Moines). He even braved a tetanus shot for the cause. Don't pass this along SuperFans, but shots are kind of our Kryptonite. Proving once again that we will brave all to save our fellow Iowans.

Even though SuperDad put tons of work and bulging muscles into building up the levees, he was no match for Mother Nature. The levee breached and the neighborhood flooded. I guess that is where we have met our match. She is one tough Mother. . .(Shut your mouth!)

P.S. For those of you who are wondering, Iowagners' Headquarters survived the storms and floods. Must be the sturdy 1970's architecture.

I am glad to hear that the SuperFamily is safe! Although it looks like you have a nice little river in the backyard. :)

Wow, the power of mother nature is amazing! I can't believe what she can do.
On Sci-Fi there is a t.v. show called "Who wants to be a superhero" Next time it is on, you should check it out, it is hilarious! http://www.scifi.com/superhero/

Love the new name!

Wow that's some big water! We had that problem years ago, Kent did some sandbagging. There was some guy from National Geographic there and he was interviewed, made it into the magazine! Maybe you could try posting a little more often, hint, hint!
