It Was Just Water Under The Bridge--But Lots Of It!

Flood waters from the Cedar River flow under the Second Avenue bridge in Cedar Rapids, Iowa around 6:45 AM on Wednesday, June 11, 2008. This view looks upstream from the Third Avenue bridge, with City Hall and May's Island on the left and Quaker Oats, Cedar River Tower and the former Federal Courthouse on the right. The water level at this time was about 19.6 feet, reaching an astounding 31.3 feet two days later and inundating the downtown area.
