Iowa Under Water

Cedar Rapids and Iowa city look like New Orleans after Katrina. The flooding is indescribable and heartbreaking. All of downtown Cedar Rapids has been evacuated, no power, and all bridges are closed. My husband's office is closed and they may not go back to work until Tuesday. 40 of Iowa's 100 counties have been declared disaster areas.

We're ok. The Maquoketa River is not a major river. The others, like the Cedar and Iowa Rivers, are much larger. Downtown Manchester is not expected to flood.

Please, if you can help, contact the Red Cross and ask where donations can be sent.

April 25 2008 Manchester flooding 007

Some pretty wild weather here the past week or so. Spring arrived with a fury - after a couple of gorgeous 70 degree days,the rains came and we had almost 5inches. Downtown Manchester flooded and a few streets were closed. My neighborhood has had to deal with water seepage into basements and the sump pumps can't keep up. We use the shop vac every night and probably will have to continue for the rest of the week.

On theup side - my plants are coming up!!!
