Iowa - 1200 feet
With Iowa being a fairly flat state, flooding area increases dramatically between 600 and 1200 feet of sea level rise. The eastern half of the state (basically east of Interstate 35) would be underwater. Some areas in the north would be spared such as Cresco, Ossian and New Hampton. The state capital of Des Moines and surrounding are all underwater. At this point the Missouri River is also flooding in the western portions of the state along Interstate 95. Affected areas include Hamburg, Omaha, Onawa and Sioux City.
