In Cedar Rapids, Indian Creek neared 200 feet from the Lawrence home at 3017 Sidney St SE. Early Tuesday, floodwaters entered the bedroom as firefighters in an inflatable boat rescued Dick and Yvonne Lawrence and their dalmatian Penny. Overnight rain fed the creek's northern Linn County area, keeping water levels high.
Area rainfall watershed, capped by a morning downpour, sent floodwaters cascading downstream along Indian Creek and its Dry Creek. The sudden surge prompted local authorities to monitor flow levels and issue alerts for nearby communities.
Cedar Rapids crews rescued 35 to 45 people from flooded homes as 45 residences suffered flood or sewer damage near Mount Vernon Road. Eight mobile homes were destroyed with emergency shelters opened at Washington and Marion high schools. Governor Vilsack declared seven eastern Iowa counties as disaster areas.
