 Catastrophic Flooding
Iowa is experiencing severe flooding at this moment, as it has been since last night. It rained on and off for about a week and now Cedar Rapids is flooding. Most of the city is in water, and it's still rising. A lot of my family lives there; both of my uncles homes are flooded and my grandmother had no power last I knew. I'm not sure if my friend Kevin is okay, but I hope so.

Even the hospital in Cedar Rapids has closed because it was flooding and they had to move patients to diferent hospitals. It's not just Cedar Rapids either. There are quite a few cities that have flooded, but Cedar Rapids is by far the worst. My brother lives there as well and he can't get back to his apartment because of it.

I don't believe much in that praying stuff and whatnot, but any good thoughts you could send in the general direction of Iowa and Cedar Rapids would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

I am sending all my positive thoughts and prayers for your friends and family, as I am to everyone involved.
Please let us know if you hear anything love, we're a family here and care deeply, it's just some people have no idea what to say when they read news such as this and tiptoe out the room again, shocked.
Keep writing to us, I hope it'll help support you. xx

After watching a Nightline story on this was shocked to see the devastation and all the people in the Midwest are dealing with due to these flood waters. Positive thoughts going out to all involved. Peace.

Sending best wishes and prayers(even if you don't want them!). I read some of KSgal stuff. She is wiped out by tornados and feels nobody is giving a crap. Not alot of media attention on her end either. So I'm thinking about you all!
