We used to live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. My husband & I went to Coe College there just a few years ago! In no way did we ever think that the Cedar River would be a danger to that city. But with all the rain lately things have gotten bad there and the whole downtown is now underwater. Most to the major roads are closed due to flooding. My sister in law claims it is a real mess.
I heard the water is starting to receed there now and people are beginning to go back to their homes (if they are still there) to view the damages. Most people do not have flood insurance because they do not live in a flood plain. It is sad because all these people will have water damage and the beginnings of mold issues in their homes. Mold is tricky to get rid of. You have to do it right or you will make it worse.
