Greetings Iowan TE'ers. The news about the flooding you are experiencing is breaking my heart! Has it ever been this bad before? I wonder if they will have to cancel the RAGBRAI? I hope there is quick state and federal response to help with shelter and drinking water, and eventually rebuilding. I rode RAGBRAI in 2006 and fell in love with the kindness and hospitality of Iowans. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Tokie
