Men scale flood wall to deliver pumps in Cedar Rapids
Josh Jensen and Cory Harrison, employees of Hiawatha firm H J Heating and Cooling, climbed a 16 foot flood wall near NewBo City Market to ferry four pumps to Tornado's Grub and Pub as floodwaters rose. They used an inner tube raft and a rope to move pumps over the barrier while authorities warn against breaching flood barriers.
