Cedar Rapids is apparently undergoing a lot of flooding. Here's what the County Sheriff had to say:
"We're just kind of at God's mercy right now, so hopefully people that never prayed before this, it might be a good time to start," Linn County Sheriff Don Zeller said. "We're going to need a lot of prayers and people are going to need a lot of patience and understanding."
I can just imagine his incredulous Deputy Sheriff saying, "Uhh, Don? Prayers, yeah, that's great. How about we call FEMA?"
"Damn, I knew there was something I forgot. There's a house that's about to be completely submerged -- let me get through another twenty 'Hail Marys', and I'll get right on it."
