On June 10th, 2008, the rain over Cedar Rapids, Iowa seemed endless. Almost 10 square miles were affected by 31 feet of flood water for nearly a week, making it the fifth worst state disaster in US history. The financial cost of the Cedar Rapids flood is rivaled only by Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Wilma and the 9/11 terrorist bombing. The entire downtown business district and more than 5,000 homes were virtually destroyed. "City Under Water" takes a year-in-the-life look at how the proud people of the Heartland cope with challenge and change.
