Woke to a really heavy rain storm this morning. The power went out. That meant the sump pump stopped. Water coming into the basement. With no power in the house, I decided to take a walk out on the golf course to see where all the water was coming from.

Just a short little grouping of videos today.

I had to do some work down in one of the evacuation areas in Cedar Rapids. Just after I shot these scenes, they closed the bridges to get into downtown Cedar Rapids. It made for a hasty retreat south of the city.

We are still getting massive amounts of rain here in Iowa. It feels like we can’t go more than 2 days without a siren going off. It will be nice once the threat of drowning in the middle of the street is gone.

I took a little tour out to Beverly Park today to look over the new mountain bike trails built by LAMBA (Linn Country Mountain Bike Association). Rob Johnson, LAMBA President, tells us about the new park and the club.

Woke up to heavy rains this morning. The sewers backed up and then came the flooding. Then came the cars trying to go through the water. Not a smart idea.
