What happened

The episode as NWS DVN wrote it up.

Scattered thunderstorms developed late Monday evening over Central Iowa from Marshalltown to Waterloo and Mason City. These storms moved across Northeast Iowa overnight into Northwest Illinois early Tuesday morning. Although not severe, these storms produced heavy rain with several locations receiving over an inch. The heavy rain fell on already saturated ground, and resulted in some flooding. In Jo Daviess County, water up to a foot deep covered Highway 20 between Woodbine and Elizabeth. Highway 20 was also closed in spots in Stephenson County due to standing water. Route 26 at Montague Road was closed, while standing water was also reported on roads between Yellow Creek and Hollywood. In Carroll County, several roads were also covered in water in Savanna.
