Restoration Roundup: Preventing Legionnaires, Rising Sea Levels, Historic Cedar River Flooding, & More | 9.27.16
Thousands of Iowans are taking no chances in advance of what could be one of the worst floods in the state's history. For days, the rising waters of rivers and creeks in eastern Iowa have forced more than 10,000 residents of Cedar Rapids, Iowa's second-largest city, out of their homes and businesses.
Hundreds of homes were evacuated after the fire broke out Monday amid a heat wave, and more residents were ordered to leave as the flames spread overnight. Officials didn't say how many homes are affected.
