De Ja Vu

The summer of 93 was the summer before my senior year of high school. The year of the BIG floods. The flooding wasn't as big in Des Moines this time, but it was definitely awful in Cedar Rapids. It is a good thing we went to the Dam when we did. 1 day later they shut it down and flooded the area. Here are some pictures of the Des Moines area.
Grandma's basement had a few small rivers running through it while we were there, but nothing too serious.
