Cedar Rapids struggles to endure historic flood
The Cedar River poured over its banks here Thursday, forcing the evacuation of nearly 4,000 homes, causing a railroad bridge to collapse and leaving cars underwater on downtown streets.

Watch out, Cedar Rapidians, heard on the news this morning the head of FEMA will be touring the area. Think you have it bad now?

Sounds like the flood that could never happen that did.
Look like Katrina after the storm. The whole state is total loss. |

Um....Derek the "lawyer", it would be a "retainer fee," not a retaining fee.
I call BS |

Just google Derek Battershell and you will learn more. Certainly not an attorney. Better yet find him on zabasearch and send him your junk mail.

We will come back from this, stronger and better that we were before. It will take all of us working together to pull this off, but we can make it work.

Do they care about us when we get snowed in ?

2 No it certainly DOES NOT look like New Orleans after Katrina. No one looting stores or setting fires or robbing their neighbors. This is the way Civilized people are supposed to act after a tragedy strikes. |

1 This is exactly the point I was going to make. Where's the looters? Where's Kanye West and the telethon? What happened in N.Orleans was a tragedy but not an excuse for anarchy. |

Yes, you will. Cedar Rapids is a wonderful community. My best to you and the entire city. It is refreshing to see a community get up and help one another instead of whining and blaming the government for its problems. I am personally making a donation today for relief efforts. Good luck to all of you. |
