Also read an article that indicated I-80 is closed from just east of Iowa City all the way to Davenport because of the flooded Cedar River.

It's actually closed from DesMoines to Davenport. The poor truckers are being rerouted an hour to the north to Waterloo and then over to Dubuque and then an hour back down to I80 at Davenport. That is a lot of fuel and time. Cedar Rapids is running out of water to drink. Only 1 city well is working. It is like the old saying "Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink." Thankfully it was a dry day, tommorrow does not look good though. I have many friends who have lost everything. But believe it or not they are right there helping others so they don't lose everything too.
