Well... sheer awe and terror about size of flood.

Army Corps of Engineers saying Peak Flow out of local res. will not be until TUESDAY.

in the meantime, no internet and no access to downtown or eastern Iowa City for that matter. This is pretty scary.

I haven't been out of the apt for a few days because well, I don't leave all that much normally, but especially right now I just don't want to see... but now can't avoid it because I can see the six (probably more) feet of water covering Highway 6 from my deck. When I walk the dogs I'll try and get some pictures.

Alena got out of CR okay.

I have email access. I am not sure but I may not be getting incoming phone calls. Anne, if you try and don't get me let me know.

Mandatory evacuation within 2 blocks of where I am right now.

I watched what really looked like funnel formation from yet another storm yesterday... it didn't touch down thank dog. There was half inch size hail though.

if any more rain comes... where is it going to GO?

Hey, I just came across your blog after googling "depression blogs" and finding yours on a list of someone's Top 5. The other ones looked too cheerful from their descriptions and yours sounded the most interesting. So I clicked on it and immediately saw "floods" and "Iowa City" and was like "huh???" because I just so happen to live in Iowa City. That's probably much less exciting to you than it feels to me, but I wanted to share it nonetheless. Have only had a chance to read a little bit but I am definitely going to read some more.
