It seems we chose the right time to take our vacation and leave Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The flood is at 34 feet as of today and they are expecting it to go even higher by Sunday. Fortunately our house is not in the affected area at this time. Also our house is on top of a hill and pretty safe so far. We have had contact with our neighbors and all is right at this time. Unfortunately for the center an southern part of the city, all is not well, and is currently under 10 to 30 feet of water, depending on where they are. The library is a total loss as none of the books and materials were able to be saved. All of downtown is under water, and both hospitals are flooded and have been evacuated. They are telling us it is the worst flood on record for the entire state. Gene
