Rather than a circle drawn on a map, the area follows the places a Des Moines roofer can reach in an ordinary workday: the city itself, two western suburbs, Ankeny to the north, Altoona to the east and Indianola to the south. They share the same central Iowa weather, including the August 10, 2020 derecho. What changes from town to town is paperwork, because each city keeps its own building office.
