Never the less, the University of Iowa has lost at least twelve buildings including all those in your list to flooding. Fortunately, IC's water treatment plant seems to have been spared but like Cedar Rapids, it is going to take months if not years to get things back together. We here in Van Buren county and still fighting the fight with the crest to hit sometime today. <BR/><BR/>Columbus Junction where the Iowa and Cedar rivers meet is getting devestated though. Their levees have already failed and the crest is yet to arrive there.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.com
