No Volleyball Today

Inundation from Dry Run Creek flowed all the way to the Bowman Woods neighborhood recreation area on Thursday afternoon, June 12, 2008. The volleyball court stands under water at left. Untouched was the tennis courts and swimming pool. The recreation area is located just east of the Boyson Road/Brentwood Drive NE intersection and just west of the boundary between the cities of Cedar Rapids and Marion, Iowa. Significant flooding began on this day in the metro area after several days of heavy rainfall, much of it coming downstream from the north. Especially hit hard was the downtown area of Cedar Rapids.
