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 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.

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!

An 11 month thread. Oi! Figure this is as good a place as any to say 'ello again. I am loTEK th lurker! Ex stripclub employee, Bartender extra. Out of Seattle, Wa. With less then a dozen posts under my belt, I don't expect any o you to remember me, tho' I've been off an on for... 6 yrs?. I honestly don't remember who I've rapped with. Except TheMercenary. Motorcycle thread. Hello! I mostly jus read your posts, learn. Follow th friendships, ect. Makes me happy. Curious. With th world in turmoil, an seattle asshole deep in pop culture an a desperate need for stability, It's a joy to see the cellar an so many familiar monikers yr after yr. An, uh, yeah. Whiskey calls. Peace be with you all.
