Life is very slowly starting to return to normal here in Eastern Iowa after the devastating derecho that hit Eastern Iowa on August 10th, but there are still plenty of people in need.

Two of my favorite bars in Uptown Marion found a way to still serve customers despite the governor's latest order.

It looks like most businesses on Collins Road in Cedar Rapids have reopened following the August 10th derecho, but there are still some recovering from some pretty extensive damage.

People have come from all over the U.S. to help us with storm recovery these past couple of weeks!

City officials say over 90 percent of Marion homes and businesses have storm damage.

Even though last Monday's derecho here in Iowa only lasted about an hour, debris clean-up in the area is going to last much, much longer.

Last week's derecho took out half of the tree canopy in Cedar Rapids and Marion.

Today’s volunteer effort in Uptown Marion has been called off due to unsafe conditions and live wires in City Square Park as power is being restored. The effort will be rescheduled when safety conditions allow.
Much of Eastern Iowa was greatly impacted by Monday's storm...
