Earlier this week, the Cedar Rapids Public Library slipped under water. Certainly anything in the basement or first floor is now a muddy mess because of the rampaging Cedar River.
Now, in Iowa City, the University of Iowa Library is in dire danger of being flooded by the raging Iowa River. About 100 people were down sandbagging in front of the library, or helping to move books inside from the basement and first levels. I am headed down to help out there also. Both the Library and the University's computer center are endangered. The University power station just started taking water. Hancher Auditorium is also endangered, as is the Memorial Union, the new Art Center, and many other University buildings look like they will go.
Got to go.
