Nation/World

Iowa Flood Waters Threaten Hospital: Rising flood waters have forced evacuation of a downtown hospital in Cedar Rapids, IA.

The city is experiencing the worst flooding in its history and the water is still rising. The Cedar River was expected to rise another three feet by this morning, and reach a record crest of 12 feet higher than the previous mark, set in 1851.

With more rain predicted for this weekend, flood waters were expected to remain high for at least the next seven or eight days, according to a spokesman for the Cedar Rapids Fire Department.

Most of downtown Cedar Rapids—including City Hall, the county courthouse and jail—was underwater. About 8,000 people have evacuated their homes.

Iowa City is also being hit hard by the flooding because of water flowing out of the Coralville Reservoir. The city has been evacuated and attempts to preserve infrastructure will probably be abandoned.

Twisters caused $20-million in damage to the Kansas State University campus in Manhattan.

Memorial Service for Boy Scouts: A memorial service was held Thursday for four Boy Scouts killed by a tornado which ripped through the 1,800-acre Little Sioux Scout Camp Wednesday.

The tornado—which destroyed the camp’s four permanent buildings and ripped up tents—also injured 48 of the 89 campers and staff members.

The victims were two 13-year-olds and two 14-year-olds
