We are thankful

We are thankful in Cedar Falls. Our downtown stayed dry thanks to the efforts of hundreds of people working thousands of hours. We rode our bikes on the "L" ride and checked out a couple spots that we saw last time.

The parkade: Sandbags ready to be picked up.
On the way to 1st and Main Street.
Gateway park and its colorful piles of sandbags.
You can see the water passing under the bridge.
The water is still high on the north side of the Cedar River.
The National Guard is keeping on guard for leaking water or people who want to pass.
I'm sure there was a good reason for the toilets out on the balcony.
I don't know the reason though.
Views of the Cedar River from Kreig's Crossing.
Looking toward the east side.

Looking at the tracks that lead to the utilities.

We are all very thankful that the water was kept back. Everyone is keeping their eyes to the sky. We can't take too much more water.

I am guessing they removed the toilets so they could put a plug in the drains.

Thanks Captain, That makes sense.
I saw that biking in Ingawanis is closed for now. I'm guessing a clean up day is going to be scheduled.
