There is actually a Merrie Melodies cartoon that mentions the town. It is called "Aloha Hooey" and stars "Cecil Crow from Oakville, Ioway." Cecil is portrayed as a hick with a southern accent. He smokes and does a lot of stupid things, but ends up with the girl.

Sandbagging Efforts
This video was taken by an Iowa National Guard member who helped the sandbagging effort south of Oakville after the levee near Oakville had failed.
This video was not taken in Oakville, but shows the work that residents and volunteers put in to try to keep the waters out of their homes and property.
The HawkEye has a video of Oakville sandbagging on YouTube. Other YouTube videos about the Oakville floods can be found here.
