1. Cornfield...

Your Website is fast becoming an incredible resource for photos of the flood.

Those Alliant photos are just...mind blowing. I look at those pictures, and I feel
overwhelmed. How do you begin cleaning up?

Floods are so devastating. They're worse than fires that burn a building to the ground, because
a flood completely destroys a building--and although it's still standing--it's completely un-salvageable.
So, not only do you see the devastation, you have to clean it all up, piece by piece--before you can
begin rebuilding.

I can't believe those office photos.

Loads of prayers and sparkly light coming from Ankeny to CR tonight...

2. Your photos made me think how crazy all this is
the water didn't just go into the building, it flowed THROUGH it. Some guy in MO is gonna find a file from Alliant in his front yard next week (if not a chair or piece of artwork).

What to do? Just gut the entire building and start from scratch?

3. Thanks for these. And for the video. It just left me speechless.
I cannot imagine what it must feel like to look ahead to the task of cleaning all of this up. How would one? So, sad.

Thanks.
