It is bad, I can tell you that. I live (on high ground) about halfway between the Cedar and Iowa rivers, both of which crested higher than in '93. The Iowa (in Iowa City and points south) is still higher and isn't expected to drop much for about a week. The water is coming over the spillway of the reservior and until that stops there will be major flooding.

Interstate 80 was closed from Friday until Monday afternoon where it (normally) crosses the Cedar. Many of the roads that closed will not open for weeks at best. In some places, even where bridges are fine now, there is no way to get to the bridge because the roadway is gone.

Don't know how long this video will be up, small town paper and all. It is a home video of Highway 6 about 25 miles east of Iowa City. The Cedar River just took out part of the road.

For the local take on the situation:
Iowa City newspaper
Cedar Rapids newspaper

It will definitely be a challenge to clean this up.
