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 />
