An inland hurricane tore through Iowa. You probably didn’t hear about it

NPR spoke with a Cedar Rapids City Council member a few days ago. I remember being incensed that the federal government were dragging their feet to get them resources: https://www.npr.org/2020/08/15/902811975/thousands-in-iowa-c...

If you want a very personal point of view of the storm check out the three latest videos on this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuxlXCfVyV-i5YLL30jkomw

2 coworkers are in the area. Without power for days, cellphone service dropped, picking up debris, cutting down fallen trees and everything.

It's very much like back in PR after hurricanes... except in Iowa. It's so surreal.

There have been other notable extreme storms in this area in recent history. Increasing global temperature appears to be putting more energy into the atmosphere so hundred year storms are now common.

Well, if you read the NY Times or the Washington Post, you heard about it.

The real news is that FEMA is doing nothing.
