Best of luck to the PG staff and their families - and to all in the flooded regions

oh! I hope all your families and friends are OK. Take care.

Been following the tornado and floods out that way and thought of PG.

Stay safe, prayers coming from Florida.

Everyone is safe, but many without homes, right now.

I live out in the country so everything is alright there.

A railroad bridge went down today and people can't get from one side of the city to the other. All the bridges are closed and in danger.

This is a real disaster. I'm sure the weather network will have lots of coverage. Worst flood ever in our town, by far.

What the heck is going on?

We get a chance to watch many of the best high school players this weekend and we will not get rained out because it's in a domed stadium. All is not bad!

Thanks for the thoughtfulness, but everything will be fine.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all, Jerry. I have family all over Iowa and have concerns for them as well.

Jerry, you and your entire crew there will be in our thoughts and prayers. Hang in there, be safe and it'll work out in the end.

Prayers from me too PG for you, yours, and all the folks in and around in Iowa. Some very sad and touching stories making the news.

Our thoughts and prayers are for you.

Oh my, I had been wondering about your facility after hearing the news reports today, knowing your building is not far from downtown and the river.

So relieved to hear that everyone is safe, at least. If there is anything this forum can do to help, please let me know!

Photos of downtown Cedar Rapids - Perfect Game's building is, I believe, about a mile or less from this:

P.S. Jerry, please call my cell if there is anything I can do this weekend regarding computer stuff etc.

PG, best of wishes from the NW. I'm thinking about Iowa today.

Stay safe.

Goodness,......, those pictures are just unbelieveable.





First and foremost, thank goodness everyone is safe on your end.
Has relief/help come?

It's been a wild winter and one heck of a summer so far here in the midwest.

Anything we can do to help?

Hang in there....

From MSNBC.COM :

quote:

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - This city had hoped the worst would be over by Friday, but instead the Cedar River keeps rising and has now swamped more than 400 blocks and forced thousands to flee. In Des Moines, meanwhile, officials issued a voluntary evacuation order as the Des Moine River neared the tops of levees.

quote:

Much of the Midwest remained under threat of more severe weather, with yet another storm front moving through Kansas, Missouri and Wisconsin.

The whole state of Iowa is under water, just unbeleivable.

When we were driving from Omaha to Lincoln Nebraska 2 weeks ago to watch UC Irvine play in the regionals there, we were driving at night in the worst lightning storm I have ever seen. There were also tornadoes in the towns around us. It was very scary!

It seems the weather has gotten worse and worse in many areas of the country. What is going on?

To Jerry and the PG Staff:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We have extra room in our house in So Cal if anyone needs a place to camp out! We'll try not to have any earthquakes if you come out our way anytime soon.

my thoughts and prayers going out to pg staff and the residents of cedar rapids.

i just returned from a trip which took me through iowa, illinois and missouri. saw the flooding on both sides of I-80 in iowa and also saw it again along the banks of the mississippi river near ft. madison, iowa. very scary stuff !

news reports are that flooding is also bad in racine, wisconsin and the wisconsin dells.

everyone.....please keep safe !

We drove up through 29, not sure if that area is as bad. It's west of there. 80 does go straight through Omaha, and not sure if that way would be approachable.
