Major Iowa Flooding-Cows on porches!

It's crazy in Iowa!!! I've been watching all day coverage of the Eastern Iowa floods. Cedar Rapids, Iowa had a semi trailer floating down the downtown streets, a phone pole got pulled down during live coverage. There are refrigerators, furniture, etc... floating through the streets. They are on a drink only order for the water-no showers, wash, etc... Fish are now swimming in the streets downtown. The ABC affiliate has been on generator power all day. The town of Palo, NW of CR, is shut down. The crest rate is going to break all kinds of records-much worse than the "100 year" flood of 1993. The University of Iowa is starting to close buildings-Hancher Auditorium, Art Center, Main Library, evacuating Hawkeye Ct apartments, etc.... I can't understand why Geraldo isn't here!!!!!! lol
It's getting scary in Eastern Iowa!!!!
