Iowa City - Flood 2008

I had to take Lacey to Iowa City for her orthodontist appointment on Friday. It was supposed to be last week but they called and cancelled because of flooding there. Well I was very suprised at the amount of damage I saw. As we were getting to the University of Iowa there is a little Dairy Queen that was wiped out a couple of years ago by a tornado. I was sad to see that it was hit hard again by flooding. I wonder if they will survive this.

After the appointment I drove lacey over to the Coralville mall to do a little shopping and on the way we saw a lot of clean up going on. I had no idea how bad it had been here. I had seen it on the news but it is a whole different monster in person. What a mess.

Wow! I knew Iowa City had been hit but hadn't really thought of where. Thanks Jamie. XOXO Mom
