Iowa is friggin' DROWNING.

Iowa has taken on water, man oh man. There have been a ton of aerial photos in the papers and they're all pretty stunning, but while they show the intensity of the devastation, they can't really comment on the personal hit our peeps have taken. So your pals at Mud Dauber Records would like to offer the video below. Andrew Sherburne, the publisher of Iowa City's local monthly indie mag Little Village, will take you on a brief tour of his flooded neighborhood and home. Our best wishes go out to Andrew, his wife, and all of the other folks who have taken a hit on this one. Actually, our best wishes go out to every person on the planet, but you get the point...



We'd also like to point out that Cedar Rapids, just 20 minutes north of Iowa City, was stomped. It's catastrophic up that way. The entire downtown area was submerged. Here's a pic from Liz Martin at The Gazette:The above photo is downtown Cedar Rapids. Jeebus in a handbag. Be safe.
