Please pray for Iowa. 80 counties out of 100 have massive flooding.
We in Cedar Rapids, Iowa had 3-9 foot of water in local museums, library, hospital, post office, businesses & 4000 homes. All 8 of our big bridges linking our sides of town were covered with 19 feet past flood stage---32 feet of water in our Cedar River! Very destructive , but no one hurt. Praise the lord.
The water is receding now here, but moving on to damage towns downstream from us. Please pray for solace for those who lost everything in the flood waters. Not a pretty sight--alot of cleanup to do as people go back in to their homes & businesses.
May God Bless and guide us to find a way to help these unfortunate souls.
