A slideshow of photos that I have collected before the crest of the Cedar River. Most of the photos taken on June 11th before the massive evacuation of downtown Cedar Rapids. Also a few photos of the Indian Creek flooding around the Lininger Park/Boysen Park area. Movie created June 13, 2008.

Thanks for the pictures. We live in Florida and have been calling family and friends in CR to check on them. It makes our hearts go out to everyone there. We lived in CR during the flood of 93, that was nothing to what is there now. Keep posting.
