More Flood Pictures

I found these pictures on Press Citizen.com today. They have quite the photo gallery of flood pictures, so check it out. This first picture was taken Monday night at dusk. Damon took 'off' the day and was at the church from 9am-9pm! Evidently there was a complete rainbow. Everyone just kind of stopped and took it in. Is God trying to tell us something?! As if this picture isn't awesome enough, (that's Scott Sterner - our pastor of worship - in the green vest) it is also a "Where's Damon" picture. Can you find him?!

This next picture is for Emily. Her good friends Greg and Andy are pictured here preparing some of the drainspouts. Andy was quoted as saying, "I just hope it stays down for when I get married here in about 30 days." This would be the same wedding that Emily is coming home to sing in!
It looks like the water officially went over the spillway at the Coralville Reservoir earlier at 8:30 this evening. Although Damon went to work today, he and Will spent the evening at church. Even though the sandbagging efforts are done there, Parkview has become the hub for efforts to save the surrounding neighborhoods. So Parkview is now helping in that effort. Damon said it was neat to see several of our brother-in-law's Scott's extended family out there helping out. "They," whoever "THEY" is, are predicting that this will be worse than the '93 flood. In '93 the water was literally at Parkview's doorstep, but no water came inside. We'll see what happens this time around...
