Heavy rains over the course of the last few days have created problems for many in the area. Water found its way into the basements of houses in many communities while Main Street in Cedar Falls found itself under water for a time on Monday. Wapsie Valley School District has cancelled school Tuesday due to the amount of rain they received.
In a weather related incident in Cedar Rapids a woman had to be rescued after her kayak overturned in the bloated, fast moving Indian Creek. The man she was kayaking with also overturned but never resurfaced. Crews searched for him into the night but were unable to locate him. More rain is expected today and tomorrow.
