The sad thing is we are being told that FEMA and the Red Cross are pretty much broke, so don't expect any help from them....Cedar Rapids, Cedar Falls and Iowa City are about an hour away from me....most of those who were out of the flood plain of course do not have flood insurance...our small town had terrible flooding too, but nothing as bad as what they are experiencing. AND 3 weeks prior to all of this flooding Parkersburg, Iowa was completely leveled by a tornado....when it rains, it pours....I feel so bad for all of those affected by the weather events of the past month...these are very beautiful, peaceful cities that are being ruined by the floods and the tornado...the farmlands surrounding the 3 cities are also in ruins....x(
