on the flooding of iowa

Recently, there has been some nasty flooding happening near my hometown. Some of the footage is so surreal, that I can't quite grasp it. MY stomping grounds is on the news, MY friends, family, and community members are and will continue to be affected by this. Mom just emailed to say that dad's office is being evacuated, as they think it will be taken over by the flooding, soon.
I really wish we were already moved into our Iowa City apartment, helping with the sandbagging. I feel so helplessly stuck down here...


(You can see the music building in which I attend classes, is in the right of very last shot on the video, across from the bridge)
