SPENCER, Iowa - The southern side of Spencer, Iowa in particular is being devastated by the flooding off of the Little Sioux River. With water levels rising dramatically - many are saying this flood rivals or beats the flooding of 1993 that crippled the region. There is no way to cross the river in the area without driving approximately 90 miles. Emergency services are staged on both sides of town. Hospital on the north side with a fire truck and ambulance staged on the south side. Emergency services also being provided by boat as residents are still stranded. It’s unknown if the river has actually crested as the gauge has been having issues.
