Possible Flood Again???

One of the biggest fears of the Cedar Rapids community is whether there is going to be a big disastrous flood again. Nobody can really tell, the mertorologist are saying that there will be because the precipitation pattern is almost identical to that's of last year. However, there is no snow in our forecast and last year it was snowing until April, causing it to evaporate and go nowhere else but back down, eventually the ground became so moist that is would not soak up any more water causing the flood to get way out of hand.
On the other hand, maybe everybody is just getting worked up over nothing here in Cedar Rapids. It's quite possible that all the rain that we have, and are expected to get, may just be our spring showers and won't cause any problems. Which I think that if that was the case everybody would be very pleased. After all, think of all the money that the people put into rebuilding their homes, and if it flooded again, I highly doubt that the government, along with all the other help such as jumpstart, will be so generous again.
So what exactly would happen if it was to flood again? Well I think that if it was as bad as last summer, the city of Cedar Rapids would be done, they would not have the option to rebuild because they put all their money into rebuilding from last year. And the people that would get their homes ruined again would be up and gone, they would know that it’s just going to keep happening. And the government, I don’t think would bother to help us again because that is basically putting the millions of dollars that they put into the town, to would all be wasted.
I think that the worst part of the whole flood experience is that a lot of people who worked really hard lost everything and some of the people who didn't lose much receive way more assistance than needed. The city of Cedar Rapids is taking the money to rebuild a new court house right in the middle of down town, so why not take the money and build levies so prevent it from happening again, I’d rather be safe than sorry.
Then there is the deal with all the buyouts… if it is suppose to flood again, why the government would want to buy out your property. So if there is a flood, people are basically more screwed than last year, by far more.
