Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
Good afternoon/evening from Davenport, Iowa. Davenport is where the Mississippi River flooded the downtown area a couple of weeks ago. Water levels are down four feet from their highest point, and the flood waters reached the parking lot of our hotel before receding back across the railroad tracks. The river is still in flood stage and the park between the hotel and the river is under water.
I’m in Iowa as we are conducting one of our Steel 101 workshops. This afternoon our group toured the SSAB plate mill and got to see first-hand some of the things we discussed this morning when we went through the steel making and rolling processes.
