Good morning, Cedar Rapids.

Horizons of East Central Iowa will open the new B.

Young Center at 819 5th Street SE for adults 55 and older in early 2027 — the 14,000 sqft facility will feature a library, game room, fitness studio and outdoor pickleball courts.

After a week of heavy rain left the ground saturated, Saturday’s intense rain caused flooding in basements, streets, parks and cropland—flood alerts were issued for several eastern Iowa rivers, though levels are expected to drop by the end of the week.

After Sunday morning's rain, eastern Iowa communities faced flooding, with Cedar Rapids' Boyson Park sidewalk covered by Dry Creek runoff and Marion parks closed for safety—Mechanicsville also saw submerged pastures, though no injuries were reported.

Flood waters from recent heavy rains left Thomas Park nearly underwater and forced closures at Marion parks and Bass Family Farms' fall attraction, with officials urging caution when navigating flooded areas until conditions improve.
