Many of you know that both of us are from and have family in the Cedar Rapids, IA area. Our hometown, as well as the town where we went to college to the north, has been hit very hard by the flood waters from the Cedar River. Our families are safe and dry, but are shocked by the current state of the city. Becky’s mom says that places you never thought would flood are now under water. There are updates and some amazing photographs on The Gazette’s website.
