Residents in the Des Moines area are cleaning up Monday after deadly floods destroyed homes and submerged cars, while officials work to tally up the full extent of the damage.

Heavy rains over the weekend forced the evacuation of numerous homes and businesses in Des Moines and surrounding suburbs.

Sixty six-year-old Drake University broadcaster Larry Cotlar was killed when he was swept away by floods on Saturday.

It's unclear how many other homes and businesses in the Des Moines area were damaged.

Gov. Kim Reynolds said she plans to request federal disaster assistance once the damage from this and other recent floods is estimated.

Reynolds visited flood victims in Des Moines on Monday, including Beverly Philipps, who was just seeing the damage to her home for the first time.
