The Hawkeye Kennel Club shows have been cancelled, according to the Show Chair who just notified the judges for the shows. AKC and Onofrio (superintendent) should have the word as well. The devastation to this Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area is unreal and very devastating. a slight correction to Terra's post... the hospitals are open. Only one has closed and filtered patients out to other hospitals due to flooding. Otherwise, all others are open and functioning. Highways and Interstates are closing all over the area. Whether a person in the area is flooded or not, they are all being affected by these floods. All good thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. It is not over yet.
