Parkside Flood Displaces 400 | Cedar Rapids News

Four hundred Des Moines residents are displaced after catastrophic flooding hit Parkside East apartments, with first-floor units suffering total devastation. Evacuations began Friday morning amid what the property owner calls a once-in-a-lifetime storm. Cleanup is underway, with crews removing damaged drywall and flooring — second- and third-floor residents may return in a month, but first-floor folks face a much longer recovery. The American Red Cross is sheltering 80 displaced residents at Hoyt Middle School, while property management relocates tenants and offers financial aid. Help is needed: donate to the Red Cross or IMPACT Community Action Partnership, specifying your gift is for Parkside flood victims.
