We're fortunate to live further north on the Mississippi. We are very near the river (had dinner in the park on the river today), but high on a hill, so even if it does flood, we're OK here..There are many in our Cedar Rapids plant fighting the floods, though. The first floor of the factory is flooded, the 2nd floor offices, too, but nobody can get in to see how bad yet. Several people have lost their homes and everything.
Kelly, I think you're right..Flooding near the Mississippi or Cedar Rivers may not be that unusual, but we've seen so many things hit at odd times/locations..Floods, fires, earthquakes,etc..Mother Nature's way of flipping us off, maybe..?
