lots of nasty rain in their part of the world folks.

for weeks though?

i heard it went 40 days and nights once.

Looks like the school has been hit with flooding and the city council has considered enforced evacuations. IIRC they only post from work so that may be all the news we get for awhile.

labrat's profile says she was last active on 6/13. i tried her cell phone today, but it went right to voicemail. i thought i had big red's but the voicemail sounded like a work line. I hope they're safe and sound.

I hope Labber comes on here with an update soon!

I left a message on her home voicemail.
I really just hoped she'd pick up, but once I was through it seemed silly to hang up even if other Dwellars have also left messages.

Hope all three of them (who knows, maybe even four) are okay.

She left a message on LJ's voicemail indicating that all are ok. Phew.

Hey all,

I haven't been logging in lately because I was trying to distance myself a bit from the cellar. :) More details about that some other time.

Unfortunately, we have been having insane amounts of precipitation since really last winter that has resulted in recordbreaking (up to 10 feet over previous records) flooding of local rivers, including the Cedar River in Cedar Rapids, and the Iowa River in Iowa city.

Our local news station kcrg.com has the latest news, as does the University of Iowa website, uiowa.edu.

Our home is fine, luckily. Unfortunately many of Red's clients have lost their homes to flooding, so he has been very busy and stressed out.

As I can, I will post more. The last day I was at work was last Wed, and I did manage to get some pics of Iowa City for those familiar with the area. I have to go to the local coffee shops for free internet though :)

Really glad to hear you and yours are safe and well.
Take your own time - we miss you but if you have a good reason for not being here then I for one won't push you on it.

It was just the combination of the dangerous conditions and your silence - very scary!
