we're in the Hwy 30 corridor. Just outside of town, they clocked at 120 mph winds.

We were without power for 10 days, without internet for 12.

We will have to find the money to have four very old, very large trees taken down and a couple of other, slightly smaller trees.

Cedar Rapids is still reeling. Some farms lost nearly everything.

It sucks and no one cares, because it is in Iowa.
