Imagery from the KCRG-TV webcam in Cedar Rapids on the Mount Mercy campus is shown. The top picture is from August 8th and the bottom picture is from today. The difference between the two images is remarkable. The derecho from August 10th is to blame with some estimates placing over 50% of the trees in Cedar Rapids as damaged or destroyed. The downed trees devastated the power service in the area with a thousand or so customers still without power almost two weeks later.
