Answer:

The best description of the weather in Moingona, Iowa before the train crash is Option C: There was very heavy rain, which caused Honey Creek to rise and flood.

Explanation:

This train accident occurred on the afternoon of July 6, 1881. There had been heavy thunderstorms that caused flash flooding and this washed out the timbers of the railway trestle that crossed Honey Creek. A locomotive was sent from Moingona to check track conditions. It fell into Honey Creek with a crew of four men on board.  

A young adolescent of about 16 years old Kate Shelley heard the crash and also thought of a passenger train that would be heading the same route.  She found two survivors and went to get help, traveling a long distance to sound the alarm and risking her own safety by crossing another bridge on her hands and knees.  She is considered a heroine and has a bridge named after her.
