On this day in Iowa weather history...
1961: The approaching remains of hurricane Carla produced heavy rain across Iowa on September 12th-14th before crossing the southeastern corner of the state on the 14th. Many stations reported September record 24-hour rainfall totals from the 12th-13th including 8.03 inches at Chariton, 6.50 inches at Clinton, 5.96 inches at Burlington, 5.80 inches at Dubuque, and 4.47 inches at Des Moines. By the end of the month most stations especially across the southeastern half of Iowa had recorded their wettest September ever, with some locations reporting their highest precipitation total of any month on record.
