The floods have hammered our country over the last five years. From Louisiana to Iowa, from the Mississippi to the Wapsipinicon, I have watched people be flooded out of New Orleans to Cedar Rapids. Still, people are drawn back to the river. It takes a special breed to live near the river. It takes a special love for the river. Randy Newman laments about the flood of 1927 in the song "Louisiana 1927". This was sort of the national anthem when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Enjoy it.
