I know!
That was 2009 in my yard. I had 4-6' of water collect in about 1/2 an acre and it was nasty, polluted water. We had a tornado a few months before, it tore out almost all our trees. The rest of the trees have slowly died due to erosion.
Yes, I still have hope.
Someday.....

We was lucky that water was just from small Honey Creek .30 miles North of us Cedar Rapids 20 feet over flood stage.Helped people gut their home.Took picture to show customer why I wouldn't be to work.But bridge over Iowa River was closed+ many more. 500 miles round trip to get to their home 15 miles away.
