As I rode from Muscatine I encountered a road block with signage making it very clear that no one was to go through. I had had no warning of this possibility and a detour for me would have meant an extra 35 Miles, - three and a half hours of pedalling! So I went through and encountered a collapsed road as clear in the photo below. This was downstream on the Cedar River. The same river that devastated Cedar Rapids.
The other shots are of Iowa City. If you enlarge them you can see the "crest" line on the pillars in the front of the shops. I have heard so many despairing stories of the personal loss of so many people.
