| Floods are brutal. My folks lived in Grand FOrks, ND when the erd river flooded in the 90s. Over half the town of 65000 was underwater, including their house. Takes forever to clean up after one of those things. The worst part was when the building downtown started burning. Some pretty crazy pictures of these buildings on fire with all that water surrounding them.

They're calling this a 500 years flood, but I seem to remember something pretty similar happening in 1993... sounds like they may need to do some flood control engineering in the near future.
Granola? I munch beer, thankyaverymuch.

27 levees ready to fail...
when you live in a town called Cedar Rapids you got to wonder if it will see some water.... 
the flood control has been uped since 93 but you can't control the mother of nature.. 
very good time to buy some grain , corn ect futures the farmers will have some damages.

Did anyone else see that thing on Cannon Beach awhile back? How basically the entire town sits in the area that gets hit by a tsnumai every 100 years or so.

I wouldn't worry about it. They've posted signs to keep us safe.
