I am from Cedar Rapids Iowa and my heart breaks to all those affected. I have been through the floods in 2008 and these brings back memories. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected.

I used to live in Iowa... It's an infrastructure issue, there's no proper underground drainage system at all, no storm gutters at intersections. The 2 cities I lived in, all the homes basements would fill up with water when it rained... It would just come up through the drains. The streets would be rivers... With just a little small rain storm... Something that could have easily been drained away from the cities towards where groundwater is collected for city supply. It's like I had regressed to a 3rd world country. It's why I moved back home.

Yeah, that was not the problem here. 18-20 inches of rain in 4 days swelled the river to never seen levels. It was the river that filled the valley of what is Rock Valley.

it don't even pay to be a "homeowner" rather just RV

everyone dont understand that insurance cant replace special things, collector items,history items,some stuff is just priceless and one and only

Prayers from Texas

Flood insurance either not offered or prohibitively expensive. Neighborhoods and towns, decimated. Lives and dreams, drowned.

Very sad😢

I pray for these people can get back on their feet.

ALWAYS wear a mask while imspecting flooding homes. ALWAYS!!!

Relatives move over 🤨

Dangg

I hope these people realized that Republican climate denial and anti environmental policies will insure this keeps happening and there will be less help in the future. We need aggressive change now because this will keep getting worse. It’s like trying to stop and turn around a huger tanker ship.

Wow. So you think electric cars and banning fossil fuels would have stopped this? And please explain how Republicans are responsible for this. What exactly is "climate denial" and "anti environmental policies"?

Yeah we should all drive electric cars. My brother got an electric car and it's horrible. And batteries have to be replaced. Climate change always has happened btw and flooding. I do think we all should cut down on waste all and recycle but we always had climate change
