TRAVEL INTO DOWNTOWN WATERLOO IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED.

Waterloo Mayor Timothy Hurley is strongly discouraging travel into downtown Waterloo due to the rising floodwaters. Access to the downtown area is very limited. All non-essential persons should stay out of the downtown Waterloo area until further notice. Mayor Hurley is asking for everyone's cooperation as we continue to work through this incident.
.
The City of Waterloo has an IMMEDIATE NEED for volunteers to assist with sandbagging
We wish to thank those who have been volunteering. Additional volunteers are needed immediately. Volunteers should report to the Street Department at 1601 Blackhawk Street.

Two weeks ago we went through a EF-5 Tornado = Wind speed >200 mph

Man, I feel for you. I have friends and family who live in Indiana, and they are going through the same thing. There are towns that are completely gone there. My thoughts go out to all that are involved in the flooding in the midwest.
