After the Crest: Mercy Hospital

Mercy hospital sits at 10th st. and 8th Ave. It was evacuated and sand bagged Thursday night as a precaution. More than 300 people showed up at 11pm to help with sand bagging efforts that lasted into the early morning hours.

Another orientation detail of the Street system in Cedar Rapids; Streets run north/south and Avenues run East/West and both go up in number as you get further from the river. So 10th St. would be 10 blocks away from the river.



Mercy Hospital 8th Ave. Entrance



Sand bags were placed inside and out around the enterance to hold the water back. The basment and first floor were the only affected areas.



Sand bags hold back 2.5 feet of water from Mercy on 8th St.



In an emergency send in the National Guard. Thanks NG!



Looking down 8th Ave. at 10th St. The bridge in the distance is where the river should be.
