Crash on Highway 100 in Marion slowing traffic

The derecho destroyed thousands of trees in the Cedar Rapids Metro Area two years ago.

Two years after the storm, a Cedar Rapids man is creating art out of the devastation.

"Probably gonna be one of those games that the national anthem kicks off and you shed a tear. Just joy and knowing like you're seeing something that may never happen again."

The construction planned will create over a dozen ballfields on the movie site, which will host both baseball and softball teams.

The storm produced estimated wind gusts up to 140 miles per hour in Cedar Rapids, and caused more than 11 billion dollars in damage.
