Cedar Falls, Iowa - Midwest Flood Town
Normally you’d probably be thinking, “Where the heck is Cedar Falls, Iowa?”
But with all the national press we’ve been receiving lately - I figured you might have heard of us…
Anyway, that’s where I live … Cedar Falls, Iowa - Midwest flood town.
The floodwater is now receding and it ain’t pretty!
My heart goes out to my friends & neighbors dealing with the aftermath of “The Great Flood of 2008.”
An aftermath that is total destruction, filth, and an unholy stink.
These people are hurting … many of them having lost everything.
And all this flooding is nipping at the heals of the tornado - that a few weeks ago flattened our neighboring community of Parkersburg. (And I mean destroyed almost the entire town ).
Destruction and devastation is rampant in my state …
Yet I’ve learned life goes on - it just does.
No matter how bewildered, hopeless, or lost we may feel - we pick up the pieces of our lives and continue on …
Grateful that we have a life to continue on with!
Even though it has been quite busy around here … I was excited to open the email approving me to blog about frugality & personal finance on the today.com website.
Because as I stated earlier - life does goes on and I’ve got a lot of ideas & tips to share.
Most of all, I can’t wait to hear what you have to say …
Jerry … thanks for the warm thoughts!
