Hope you didn't suffer any damages. We only got some minor flooding here in NE. Not enough for me to go looting on a Jet Ski or anything. :(

No flooding in northeast Iowa, besides a few fields here and there. the Wapsipinicon River is higher than usual, but nothing like the Cedar or Des Moines. I have a classmate who is from Cedar Rapids, haven't heard anything bad from her yet...

83 out of 99 counties declared disaster zones, wow...
what lies beyond...

Well, I didn't spend a lot of time taking pictures, but here's a few.. If you've seen one flood, you've seen 'em all.

We had a tornado roll through town 3 or 4 years ago.. This flood is going to be many times more destructive in dollars in comparison.

You're assuming a tornado isn't going to follow... end of the world bitch.

Dunno about that, but it probably wouldn't have been as bad if the water wasn't so polluted. That's not to imply that clean water would have made things much better--a considerable portion of the 200 square mile region I live in is fucked and some part of the UI might not be able to resume classes in the fall...

We got hit by a flood here not long ago too actualy... you wouldn't even know it happened today around these parts anyway, apparently they're used to it.
