When the Mississippi River crested 30 feet above its banks in June 2008, tens of thousands of Midwesterners lost their homes, their crops and all their possessions; The flood was especially hard on Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where journalist Stephen Lyons describes a city caught between resilience and growing frustration with the slowness of government recovery efforts.
