    Cindy Beranek It is horrible, I think about the people going into fall/winter, some without a place to live. This is so wide spread it is unbelievable in so many ways. If people have not seen the pictures, or driven through the country side, they need to. It’s catastrophic. Every school in CR is damaged. Businesses torn apart. Homes unlivable and severely damaged. Cars smashed. Iowa is tired, but they fight on! Thank you to the volunteers, some from out of state.
