500 Year Flood


A 100 year flood has a 1% probability of occuring in a given year. A 500 year flood has a 0.2% probability of occuring in a given year. Please forgive us Iowans if we give up on statistics forever since we have experienced both levels of flooding in the last 15 years.
We lost power and water to our building last week and were instructed to work from home. Today, we're back in the office and only dealing with some minor phone problems. Nothing compared to what the rest of the University is going through.

This picture is of the Park Road Bridge, which I normally use to get to work. The bridge has been closed since June 9.
