Iowa City floods - a personal home tour
On June 12, 2008, the Iowa River overflowed its banks, forcing the surrounding communities to evacuate. Andrew Sherburne and his wife had just bought a house in the area and never imagined having to evacuate their home, because it was in an area that is considered a 500-year flood plain.
Authorities knocked on their door at 1:30 a.m. and gave the couple 30 minutes to evacuate. Trying to save their most valuable possessions, the Sherburne’s took two hours to collect what they could and almost got arrested for not evacuating in a timely manner.
The day after they were forced to leave, the couple decided to head back to their home by canoe to see what else they could save. This is the video they filmed as they went to save what was left of their home.
