Corps delivers huge pumps to aid Cedar Rapids flood defense
Mayor Ron Corbett said Army Corps of Engineers sent four huge pumps to back up the citys temporary flood protection. The pumps would divert water back to the river if barriers fail, buying time to repair the system. Officials noted temporary measures cost 5 to 6 million dollars, while a permanent 500 to 625 million proposal awaits federal funding amid regional disaster relief competition.

Sutliff braces for flood crest near 2008 levels
In Sutliff Iowa residents prepare for a crest about 18 inches below Cedar Rapids 23 feet as the Iowa Flood Center places a sensor on the historic Parker truss bridge. Business owner Randy Howell expects to sandbag only if river hits 28 29 feet while others evacuate and sandbags are dropped off. The town rebuilt the bridge after 2008 and keeps flood panels removable. County officials say most damage will hit farm fields and crops in the floodplain.
