Upon returning I felt the need to document. This is only a tiny portion of the damage, with shots taken almost three weeks after the storm, in the these areas: Marion, Cedar Rapids, Keystone, Elberon, Kellogg and surrounding farmland. Feel free to share. | Christopher V. Sherman / Flying Camera Media | Facebook
