We had quite a bit of flooding in Iowa this month. The worst may have been in Cedar Rapids but we had plenty of trouble here in Des Moines. A couple dozen homes were devastated in the Birdland Park neighborhood. The Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Teams came to town to help those who were affected. Jill, Mom & I were able to help feed the teams on a couple of evenings, but the work that the teams were doing on those homes was amazing. They would go into a flooded home, completely tear out all damaged materials and power wash/sanitize the affected areas.
We didn't have any residential flood damage near our neighborhood but the bus barn down the street was partially submerged. We could actually see the river from our house. We shouldn't be able to. The park down by the river just became river and completely vanished.
