IowaThe Associated PressFlood waters are
beginning to recede in Cedar Rapids, leaving
behind heavy damage to the city. However a
new round of wet weather is moving into the
region. (June 15)This is exactly what flood
weary residents in the Midwest don't want to
see -- a new round of wet weather moving into
their area. The rain could make an
already dangerous, and damaging situation in
Iowa, and along the Mississippi River even
worse. And it comes just as waters are
starting to receed in places like Cedar
Rapids -- The Cedar River has fallen
roughly six feet since its crest on Friday --
and as it does -- city officials say they're
starting to get a glimpse of the incredible
destruction left behind. For residents,
it's been heartbreaking.SOT:"My house burned
a year a half ago and I just got it all put
back together. Everything new and everything
and then they tell me that I have to leave
and I just wanted to stay until the very last
until I had to leave." SOT: Kathy Shaeffer -
Local Resident "I'm scared. Very scared and
my husband's at a conference in Arizona and,
you know, so here I am. Trying to do this
myself. The city planned to set up 10
checkpoints where residents will have to show
ID and sign in before being allowed to return
home to begin removing belongings.
Houses where damage is severe will be
off-limits 24-thousand people had to
leave their homes. Traveling in Europe,
President Bush was briefed again on the
damage this morning in Paris. SOT; Bush
It could still be another week before the
Cedar River is down below flood stage.
But as that river recedes - Authorities are
keeping a close eye on other rising Midwest
rivers, including the Mississippi - Two
levees broke near the Mississippi River town
of Keithsburg, Illinois yesterday.
The river should crest there on Tuesday.
