A lot of bad things have happened as a result of last week's derecho here in Eastern Iowa, but that doesn't mean that some good hasn't come out of it, too!
Today’s volunteer effort in Uptown Marion has been called off due to unsafe conditions and live wires in City Square Park as power is being restored. The effort will be rescheduled when safety conditions allow.
Much of Eastern Iowa was greatly impacted by Monday's storm...
The message was clear at Thursday morning's press conference. It's time to begin the clean up phase and the city is asking citizens to help in two more ways.
You filled 300,000+ sandbags, fed volunteers, built temporary levees, created 10 miles of Hesco flood barriers, AND you were there for each other. You saved a city.
