Every cloud has a silver lining...

This is the view, too often, from our front window. 5 inches of rain last Sunday, 3 inches of rain Thursday morning, an inch of rain this morning. And yesterday, we even saw a section of cloud drop down--and it was rotating! A few minutes later, the tornado warning sirens went off. It never developed fully, but that is how it begins. As of Friday afternoon, the flood waters were receding. The water wasn't too kind to the asphalt.
Maybe the Dixieland Jazz Festival will be able to go on in less than 2 weeks.
I haven't heard what damage was done inside the museum, but it is in the drying out phase.

Most of Cedar Falls is in the drying out phase. Some ward members were affected. Some were affected in Waverly. But the worst is in Cedar Rapids. I can hardly fathom what they are experiencing there.

    Amazing. I wonder if Sturgis Falls can still happen?
