Well, the damage has been done and the clean-up has begun. And it is going to be a long time until people's

lives return to a semblance of normal. You can see examples of how much was destroyed and the magnitude of

the destruction from even a "small" flood. Our hearts go out to the hundreds of refugees downstream from

us. And we visit with the leaders of a fund raising effort, the 2008 Iowa Disaster Fund, to learn how

individuals throughout the world can send help that will go to individuals suffering from not only 500 year

flooding but lethal tornadoes destroying entire towns in 2008.

If you'd rather not watch the video but you'd like to make a contribution to the 2008 Iowa Disaster Fund,

please visit www.EmbraceIowa.com to conveniently donate.
