CEDAR RAPIDS — The city of Cedar Rapids has secured $25 million in federal funding for ongoing flood control efforts on the city’s northwest side.

Crews have searched “from the headwaters of the Guadalupe River to Canyon Lake and back,” and continue the “intensive search operations.”

Climate change has made extreme rainfall more common and more intense. But many flood risk maps have yet to catch up.

A Flash Flood Warning is in effect in Manitou Springs, and the city urges the public to seek higher ground immediately and avoid walking through floodwaters.

The City of Cedar Rapids will receive $25 million to enhance it’s flood protection and improve infrastructure.

New Orleans and the surrounding area were placed under a flood advisory Monday afternoon by the National Weather Service as the region dealt with heavy rain that left thousands without power. 6,958 customers were without power in New Orleans, according to Entergy's outage map. The outages were largely in the Uptown/Carrollton areas.

Florida and the central Gulf Coast face a risk of flash flooding in the coming days. A summer camp in Central Texas serving disabled youths reopened barely a week after the flooding. An army of volunteers helped it clean up.

It was a project the city of Albuquerque celebrated, but less than one week after the one-of-a-kind trail area opened to the public, it’s closed due to flood damage. It was July 8 when city leaders gathered to celebrate a new outdoor recreation space meant to serve people with disabilities.

Former Kansas City Chiefs running back Priest Holmes is among a group of people who have been bringing in crucial supplies after flooding devastated communities in central Texas last week.
