Seeing all of the downed tree pics on FB from friends back in Iowa gives this ISU alumni with a degree in landscape architecture a huge sad.
Got my power back at 2 today, neighbors across the street still out.
Parents got tree their house, sounding like 6 months to rebuild. Have to move the whole house to storage, been a long week. So far we've filled two 10x15 storages.

Can anyone suggest a good place to donate to help Cedar Rapids, or other places hit hard?
We had a large tree like that in our yard, branches fell twice, one time damaging the deck underneath, and a second time branches hit the garage roof and again the deck. They covered it both times, not wanting a third time I called them up, and asked if they would cover to have it taken down. Nope, so I asked when it falls and hits the house this time or the garage and the deck again I am covered? Yep was their reply.
We paid to have it taken down ourselves, thought we got a sweet deal at $1200 removed and hauled away.
This link has a lot of great resources to donate or volunteer.
Here’s how you can help with storm relief
Many different organizations are asking for help, donations and volunteers as Iowa continues to recover from Monday’s devastating derecho.

Abby's taken?
She got married during the pandemic, a likely official disaster storm while repping the state? Future vent sessions with women complaining the best man was drunk during his speech and the MIL wore white are going to have to hush up when Abby gets a turn.

just unhooked the internet and plugged in the sump pump
the hum of generators is soothing
my cousins neighbor abandoned ship water from the top and the bottom

I guess Abby lives in CR? Her videos today make me proud she’s my representative.

I had to go out to eastern Iowa for work today and stopped through Cedar Rapids to visit family. I have never and probably will never see anything like it again. The pictures and video do not capture how massive and widespread the destruction is. Cedar Rapids is absolutely destroyed compared to anything I’ve seen in the Des Moines area. Here are a couple pics I took from the front of my sisters place. The entire town looks this way. A lot of it worse. This is also after 4 days of cleanup work. You couldn’t get within about a mile of their house on Monday afternoon.
