here is 1 photo of about 50 that i took in downtown cedar rapids, last nite, saturday night. lots of devastation.
It was just getting dark and the police presence was growing so i took these photos while moving. they are not meant to be perfect just factual.
Just amazing! I used to live in Iowa City and just can't quite fathom how deep the Iowa River might have been. I used to have offices in a couple of the University buildings that were closed by the flooding...

water level looked to be about 6 ft downtown at an average,, you could see the water marks on some of the houses

The cleanup will be massive and take a lot of time. This image does a good job of showing the aftermath and is a good point of view. Thanks for sharing this, Wally.
WOW...a great documentary type shot, Wally. It really does portray the "aftermath" of the flooding. It will be quite a while before things are normal there again. Thanks for sharing.
