Kinda weird to see a path where you walked along completely submerged.
The above three pictures are pics of the University of Iowa's Memorial Union. I ate at those table and chairs many times trying to "study" or just eating Pizza Hut breadsticks dipped with ranch with my friends (all charged to my Pops, of course).
I've seen pictures of floods many many times, but to see probably one of my favorite places in the world (that would be Iowa City) in such a condition is seriously disturbing.
UPDATE: One of my fellow commenters at BHGP (the best Hawkeye sports blog on the web), three and out the KOK story, left this link in my comment section a little bit ago. Cedar Rapids is maybe a 20 minute drive from Iowa City. I used to drive over that bridge on 380 on my way to school every year. I remember very vividly the entire city smells like rancid oats (Quaker Oats headquarters is there). This is all just weird and sad at the same time.

Here are some flyover shots, mostly of from the town of five smell, but some IC. I was a freshman in 93 when Mayflower flooded and this sounds worse, which is just insane.
- three and out the kok story
Isn't that when the school shooting was in Van Allen? Not a good year to be a Hawkeye.
I can't believe it's gonna get worse in IC.
Oops. The shooting was 1991. Nevermind.
I'm with you. CR is absolutely destroyed, and its all heading to IC. The strip is already under, and if any of those levees break, the IMU, EPB, the library, the art buildings...all under. It hurts to watch.
My dorm once looked like that after I forgot to jiggle the handle on the toliet.
To be fair, we're pretty much the only Hawkeye sports blog on the web. Thanks anyway, Vicki.
i can't believe how flooded the campus is! i was accepted to grad school at the university of iowa but decided to stay in state. i kind of wanted to go there. :(
also in case you've wondered, i stumbled here from a link on someone's site and was interested by what i read. :) i'm not much of an athlete but i've been thinking about running a marathon.
