Flooding

We are OK from the flooding in the Cedar Rapids area. My office in Vinton does not have power and is flooded. Warren's workplace in Cedar Rapids is OK, but he has to go out of his way to get to work.

It is quite a mess and will have thunderstorms again tonight. We have water in our basement due to all the rain and the ground is unable to soak up anymore water. Our small garden is gone. Our older grapevines are doing well and our fruit trees are OK. The new grape vines are struggling though.

You can go to www.kwwl.com to see pictures of Cedar Rapids and Vinton flooding. We live closer to Vinton, so that impacts us more than Cedar Rapids.
