The Flood's Over. Now What?

City of Davenport

On Midwest Week, the Great Flood of 2019 is over, so what did we learn ? And how might we deal with the next one ?

Herb Trix's guest is Barb Ickes, reporter and columnist for the Quad City Times.

You can also hear Midwest Week Fridays on WVIK at 6:20 pm during All Things Considered.  

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
