The past few weeks have been hectic here in the newsroom. You’ve probably noticed we’ve been busy covering all kinds of flood related stories. It’s been unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. Typically, when there is some kind of a disaster, we cover it for a week or maybe a little longer. In this case, I imagine we’ll be covering the after-effects of the flood for years to come. Like many of you, I wonder how long it will take before everything gets back to “normal.” I also wonder if that’s even possible. It seems as though just about everything in Cedar Rapids has been affected in some way or another.
