Through The Storm by Robert P. Robertson 6/15/2008 8:55:38 AM
Except for the devastation caused by hurricane Katrina, the flooding of Cedar Rapides looks so similar to the flooding caused by the levee-breaks in New Orleans, it's uncanny! I can accurately detail the sounds that were made by the flooding cars and how the water entered the houses and businesses as if I were there. My family and I didn't evacuate during hurricane Katrina and the flooding, and saw the deadly events as they unfolded, and we watched the water recede and the streets dry up after nine days. This event will be in the memory of everyone who has been through it for the rest of our lives. Meteorologists say hurricane Katrina was a one hundred year event, and that the massive flooding in the Mississippi Valley is a five hundred year event. So, we are all witnesses to historical events, and live in a time of destructive planetary change.
