"Iowa And Wisconsin Hit With Evacuation Orders As Flooding Threatens" [1]

"Evacuations and curfews have been enacted in parts of Iowa and Wisconsin as flood threats from swollen rivers and creeks continue to cause panic.

The city of Cedar Rapids asked local residents and businesses in affected areas to evacuate by 8 p.m. local time Sunday.

Local officials ordered a curfew in the evacuation zone between 8 p.m and 7 a.m and residents seen entering or moving around in the area will be stopped by law enforcement, authorities said."
