The expected crest was for the Cedar at CR at 24.5 on Friday. It's already over 25.

I380 closed in Cedar Rapids. I80 to be closed by Iowa City. CR looks like New Orleans.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 06:40 PM) What I want to know is how does this weather affect ME? Otherwise I've lost all interest. Corn prices will likely go up quite a bit, rising the cost of anything with corn (such as cereal) or corn syrup (pop, stuff like that). That and Quaker Oats is right on the river. So actually, all this will probably affect you with higher food prices.

Better yet, here's our forecast thru Sunday. Keep in mind, we've gotten rain the last two days when we were forecasted to have sun. Tonight: Showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 1am.

Cedar Rapids is the 2nd biggest city in Iowa, roughly the size of Naperville, for comparison's sake for those of you near Chicago. This has never EVER been seen.

Cedar Rapids is now evacuating the 500-year flood plain. The ONLY way to get thru CR is on I-380. On WMT, they compared the traffic to the Dan Ryan. Also, eastern Iowa is forecast to get 1-5 inches of rain tonight.

We didn't sign Loaiza to cut him this quick.... If Mackowiak could hit at all, he'd be perfect to put on the bench. Lefty who can play IF/OF.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) So,if i read this right, the Giants get Konerko, Gonzales, and Duncan for Ray Durham . Heck, why don't we just give them Contreras's contract as well. Ray Durham IS the single greatest player of all time.

Flooding in Eastern Iowa is now forecast to be worse than '93 for the most part. The Wapsipinicon in Independence, according to Channel 7, is forecast to crest 8 feet above flood stage, but with chances for even more rain, they said it could be up to 12 feet. The river is usually about 8 feet. Forecast to 20, possibility of 24-26.

Who is this year's Geoff Blum?

SUPERB.

¿Como tú double play ball?

OH MY I almost pooped myself.

FWIW, Toby Hall is all that is man.

For whatever reason I like Joe in this situation.

:uhoh WHITE SOX

Tie game!

Let us discuss his awesomeness.

We're not f***ing around.

We've angered God somehow.

Griffey isn't really a CF anymore. Although, I like how you're trying to remind us of '05. Admirable.
