Navigating through<br />
catastrophe<br />
With the help of a generator, pencil and paper,<br />
Grand Mound company assisted farmers<br />
with filing $7 million in claims, repairing<br />
and rebuilding in storm’s aftermath<br />
BY Nancy Mayfield<br />
eastern iowa farmer<br />
Mark Schmidt had<br />
taken a vacation day<br />
on Aug. 10 when<br />
a derecho swept<br />
across parts of the<br />
Midwest. A look at the radar early in<br />
the day made him uneasy about the<br />
severity of the storm that might be<br />
coming, but he hoped it would die<br />
down before it reached <strong>Eastern</strong> <strong>Iowa</strong>.<br />
Later that afternoon, he watched as<br />
a tree across the road from his house<br />
fell, taking out electrical lines.<br />
“I knew then that it was going to<br />
be really bad,” said Schmidt, president<br />
of American Mutual Insurance<br />
Association in Grand Mound. The<br />
weather system that traveled 770<br />
miles between South Dakota and<br />
Ohio over 14 hours was the costliest<br />
thunderstorm in U.S. history,<br />
