Two months have now past from The Flood of 2008 that hit the City of Cedar Rapids. June 12th will have a new meaning on top of its old ones for me in the future.
Many of us in our community were lucky. Our houses, our businesses were not directly impacted. But, the impact has certainly reached everyone in one way or another.
The Public Policy has been slow moving.
The Downtown is working to recover. Permits are being pulled. But, our community just isn't quite the same as it was at the beginning of the year or prior to the flood.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in our community. It will be a long road to recovery, but the opportunity to make our community stronger and better is certainly on the horizon.
We have lost a lot of property and memories. Thankfully, property was lost and not people. We were all very lucky for that.
peace
