Thanks for the report from Iowa. I saw Matt W.'s link on DBB and just wanted to send my best wishes. Note: Those wind-up radios are great. I have one in my hurricane kit here in Florida and it removes the need to worry about dead or corroded batteries. Most of them have a little light as well so they are super handy and well worth the money. You can use them as everyday regular radios too. Stay safe Mike. Thanks for the report from Iowa.

I know how a disaster such as this can turn anyone's world upside down. I really hope you stay safe and for an expedited recovery effort in Iowa. Is it just me, or is this not getting the same caliber of media coverage that other similar disasters have in the past? If so, why is that?

I had heard of the floods, but to see the images, it's unreal. I'm in the suburbs of NYC and I definitely know what you mean when you say disasters are completely unexpected. Hopefully things clear up there soon. Good luck to everyone over there. I had heard of the floods, but to see the images, it’s unreal.

I had no idea you were in Iowa. I am from CR. Went to U of I and lived in Coralville before I moved to Texas. Keep up the good work and hang in there. My brother lives in downtown CR and has been evacuated for awhile now. That sux about Wig and Pen I love their Wigatoni. Hang in there guys. I had no idea you were in Iowa. I am from CR.
