Keep checking the flickr site for UI News Services where Tim is putting the images from his daily shoots.
He had an eventful Father's Day. After spending a little time with H this morning while I took a 25-mile bike ride along the flood zone south of Iowa City, Tim got a call from a UI facility services guy who took him out for several hours. He got some unique access, in particular to the arts campus.
I've been quite stern with him every time he leaves the house: be careful, don't do anything stupid, don't die. I think that pretty much covers it. So he waited a while this afternoon, seriously hesitating, before telling me that he walked over an elevated railroad bridge across the flooded west campus to get some particularly startling shots.
(Excuse me while I go bang my head against a hard wall.)
The river's crested. It's supposed to be a couple days before it starts receding, though. And the historians note that the '93 flood occurred around July 4 but the waters weren't back down to 10-year-flood level until September. We're in the midst of a prolonged disaster, with no end in sight.
