"Epic flooding forces the evacuation of thousands in Iowa" by Amy Lorentzen, Associated Press | June 13, 2008
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The Cedar River poured over its banks in the city yesterday, forcing the evacuation of nearly 4,000 homes, causing a railroad bridge to collapse, and leaving cars underwater on downtown streets.
Officials estimated that 100 blocks were underwater in Cedar Rapids, where several days of preparation could not hold back the rain-swollen river. Rescuers had to use boats to reach many stranded residents, and people could be seen dragging suitcases up closed highway exit ramps to escape the water.
"We're just kind of at God's mercy right now, so hopefully people that never prayed before this, it might be a good time to start," Linn County Sheriff Don Zeller said.
Maybe this is HIS WRATH for Iraq, torture, mass-murder, etc, etc?
Ever think of that?
Ya gotta pray to the RIGHT GUY!!!!
Days of heavy rain across the state have nine rivers across Iowa at or above historic flood levels. Residents were already steeling themselves for floods before storms late Wednesday and early yesterday brought up to 5 inches of rain across west-central Iowa.
"We are seeing a historic hydrological event taking place with unprecedented river levels occurring," said Brian Pierce, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Davenport. "We're in uncharted territory. This is an event beyond what anybody could even imagine."
One could almost say of BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS, huh?
