The Iowa Floods

What connected with me from Blood Dazzler was a similar event that occurred in Iowa. The floods of '93. I know I wasn't very old when this happen but every so often you still hear about them. Lots of people were without food and water and some were without homes. Even through this difficult time people came together. Yes there was bad, as there is with every tragedy, but there was also good. The good in people always comes out when a tragedy strikes an area they are emotionally invested in. After Katrina you heard all about the people who were helping rebuild. Every time I hear about the floods in Iowa I hear about the people who helped. You rarely hear someone say they were awful and nothing about the way a community came together when it was needed. That's what reading Blood Dazzler reminded me of, the people who help.
