On June 11th the Cedar River began to spill over the river banks as many homes and businesses were evactuated. By June 12th the river had gotten so high many homes were already underwater. When the river crested the morning of Friday, June 13th it was at 31.12 feet; almost 20 feet over the flood level of 12 feet. The river had covered much of the city leaving homes, automobiles and businesses devastated in it's path. It's the worst flooding Cedar Rapids has ever seen.

Now that the waters have receded back in to the Cedar River, citizens and business owners are able to go back to assess the damage. Some people have lost everything; their home and all of their possessions. Many people and business will need to start over from scratch.
