Also, Cedar Rapids resident Gary Bright talks about the floods of 2008 and how they compare to a flood in 1963. GazetteOnline video by Michael Barnes.

Bring up to date: We haven’t received much help. This is nothing like Katrina-it gets cold here. We had two terrible winters and a flood. Our streets are horrible and thousands of homes are untouched because there isn’t any money to fix it.
How did a flood start off a racial debate? Do, for instance, Native Americans have a higher rate of natural disasters happen? If you live in a financially depressed area where these levees are, then, why are you still there? Do you delight in potential catastrophe? I am going to go work in Iowa to help with the flooding relief. Unadorned Arithematic, no heroics. No work in Arizon, lots of work in Iowa. Unadorned.
This video is terrible; my prayers go out to all; my concern,is for people stop Judgeing others look at your own life; some blacks are terrible; karma;;selling drugs and screwing all the young women and beating them too; it will followv them to jail,or prison,or death; colorless people are also doing terrible also; it how your were raise; place GOD IN YOUR LIFE: have faith, and like in your heart; i will be in CEDAR RAPIDS soon to work; i hope people their treat others well; workers coming far awayto help///

I grew up in Shellsburg Iowa and I now live in Mobile, Alabama. And I hope you don’t come from Iowa, and I hope even more that you don’t ever show your face down South. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Yes, this flood is devasting. My brother, who lives in Czech Village, has absolutely lost his home. But it is NOTHING like Katrina. This flood is a cake walk compared to Katrina. I pray no more hurt comes to CR. I hope you never have to experience something like those people did.
While we aren’t considering ANY of this, most people around here also don’t say the N word about anyone because of accept. Perhaps the next thing people should learn?
Excellent point. No young men robbing, raping & burning the women of Cedar Rapids. I am sure if New Orleans flood again, all the black males will just rape & kill.
I heard 130,000 people in IOWA were without homes. You know what you are not considering? Rioting, Murder, Rape, and Looting. Cuz people in IOWA are not nigger animals like the shit skin monkeys in New Orleans! They are humans and show it. People in Iowa aren’t burdens on our taxes like niggers. They handle this tragedy like normal people.
start building an ark!
