    How long before water clear the roads in Ames

    If there is no further rainfall in or north of Ames, the expectation is that both the Squaw and Skunk will be below flood stage by Thursday night. Most roads should be dry by then, but will likely need to be cleaned up, and perhaps inspected for damage.
