Cedar Rapids Flood Crest Rises After Heavy June Rain
The Cedar River crest reached 31.3 feet in Cedar Rapids Friday amid heavy June rainfall upstream in Mason City and Waterloo. Officials note upstream crests often predict downstream levels during melt events, but widespread rains can break that pattern. Rockwell Collins pledges 2 million dollars for flood relief and Cedar Rapids Transit shifts to a free reduced schedule with limited routes and a temporary transfer point.
