Things have gotten really ugly here in Cedar Rapids and much of the eastern half of Iowa. The Cedar river here has risen to record levels and is expected to crest an incredible 20 feet above flood stage. Nothing in local history comes close to a disaster like this.
My family and I are fortunate enough to be located on high ground but thousands here are not so lucky. Our city is literally crippled.
Here is a link to some pics of what we're dealing with, wish us luck, God knows we're gonna need it.
