Flooding in Cedar Rapids

In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, they've announced a mandatory evacuation of the river's 500-year flood plain. The Cedar River is supposed to crest at about 1 a.m. Friday, but that's only if it doesn't rain again. Another 1 to 4 inches of rain is expected today.

There are pictures and a map of the 500-year flood plain here. Coe College is safe, because it's on a bluff, but you'd be able to throw a rock into the flood waters from there.

This is gonna hurt.
