Ellis Harbor boat houses endure Cedar Rapids flood with community effort
Ellis Harbor residents fared better after a flood with no boat houses lost and only minor damage to two near Ellis Park. Residents lightened vessels to boost buoyancy and used foam floats and stronger anchoring. The river crest was nine feet lower than eight years ago, aiding recovery as neighbors aided one another and cleared debris.
