PlusHistoric Flooding in Cedar Rapids,
IowaHistoric Flooding in Cedar Rapids,
IowaThe Associated PressThe Cedar River
poured over its banks here Thursday, forcing
the evacuation of more than 3,000 homes,
causing a railroad bridge to collapse and
leaving much of downtown underwater. (June
12)Steve Shriver/owns flooded business
"Something is collapsing over there.""What do
you think it is?""I think it's a parking
garage." (TRACK) CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA IS
FALLING APART AS THE CEDAR RIVER SWALLOWS THE
CITY. IT LOOKS MORE LIKE VENICE, ITALY
THAN THE MIDDLE OF IOWA. Steve Shriver/owns
flooded business"The river is literally
running through buildings." (TRACK) STEVE
SHRIVER OWNS AN ORGANIC LIP BALM BUSINESS
LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN. AND HIS PRODUCTION
ROOM IS IN THE BASEMENT...SEVERAL FEET UNDER
WATER. Steve Shriver/owns flooded business"we
have a million sticks of lip balm sitting in
the at building waiting to be shipped out,
that we cannot reach." (TRACK) DESPITE
DAYS OF PREPARING FOR THE FLOOD, NOTHING WAS
ABLE TO STOP THE WATER FROM RISING INTO
DOWNTOWN. SOT:(Tom Aller/Pres., Interstate
Power and Light Alliant Energy) "Water has
risen to the point where all of downtown is
really under water. All of our steam system
is down and under water so the major
customers of steam, such as quaker oats and
folks like that are out. And our electric
system is out as well." MARK CARLSON/STANDUP
CEDAR RAPIDS CEDAR RAPIDS IS OVER RUN BY
AN UNIMAGINEABLE AMOUNT OF WATER. THE
CEDAR RIVER IS TAKING WITH IT ANYTHING IT CAN
AS FLOOD WATERS CONTINUE TO RISE. (TRACK)The
city has put an evacuation order in and
that's helping because the workers are not
coming downtown." The amount of flooding in
this area is unprecedented and no one knows
how long it could take to get back to normal.
SOT:(Tom Aller/Pres., Interstate Power and
Light Alliant Energy) "As far as what we're
telling our customers, we're talking about an
indefinite outage here, for sure." Steve
Shriver/owns flooded businessNats "deep sigh"
IT'S JUST TOO MUCH TO LOOK AT FOR
SHRIVER. HIS LIVELY HOOD IS UNDER WATER.
Steve Shriver/owns flooded business"There is
no insurance to cover it. We need some sort
of help from FEMA." FOR NOW, ALL ANYONE
CAN DO IS WATCH THE WATER RISE. MARK
CARLSON, AP, CEDAR RAPIDS, IA.
