The South Skunk River and its tributaries are flooding the area following heavy rains, which could impact travel and outdoor plans today despite the sunny forecast and high near 86°F. In other serious news, a chemical spill from a field sprayer and horse trailer crash in Appanoose County has resulted in multiple injuries requiring emergency response. On a brighter note, the community is enjoying Patriots Week activities including the well-attended Ottumwa Stars and Strides 5k, and Oskaloosa has a Week of Wonder with free activities planned.
