 | Title : Need more CoCoRaHS observers!
 | Date  : 20 Aug 07:00 AM
 | Votes : Good: 18   Bad: 4
 +----------------------------------------------

On 1 August we launched the <a href="http://iowa.cocorahs.org">CoCoRaHS project</a> in Iowa and 20 days later we have at least 1 observer in 66 out of the 99 counties in Iowa!  We would really like to have the entire state covered by September 1rst, so if you know of anybody in those counties currently shown in white (no observers) please let them know about CoCoRaHS!  The current flooding situation in Iowa shows how important these high resolutions observations are.  You can see an impressive summary of <a href="http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/cocorahs/current.phtml">August totals here</a>!
