There has been historic flooding all over Eastern Iowa, especially in Cedar Rapids. Downtown was particularly hit hard, and no one has flood insurance because this kind of flooding is unprecedented.

I am shooting in my hometown of Marion, which is what you might call a suburb of Cedar Rapids even though that's not really what it is. Marion is directly attached to Cedar Rapids and is significantly smaller.

All footage is no more than five miles from my house.

  • Great vid but I believe you placed it wrong for GoogleEarth. You placed it on 10th ave near 22nd St and there wasn't any flooding there whatsoever, there's not even any water near there. You might wanna fix this mistake and place the icon at Indian Creek School or Alburnett Road. Check ya later.

  • Oh, well I just placed it in Marion and didn't zoom in. :P

  • WHat street are you looking at here? I live in the Azure Apartments and Boyson and 10th was RIDICULOUS yesterday. We couldn't even get out of the complex in a car. We had to walk through the water.

  • The first is off of the corner of Indian Creek Rd and 29th Ave, the second is some street off of Central Ave, either 8th or 9h street. The water that we get drive by shots of is Lininger Park, off of Alburnett Rd, completely under water.

see all
