Please listen to the voices of those hit by last week’s *surprise Cat 3 land hurricane*.
Many are moving to hotels, shelters. Some aren’t ready yet. Advocates, the city are helping.
Their resiliency is incredible but they shouldn’t have to put up with so much. #IowaDerecho https://twitter.com/clay_masters/status/1295347633222017025

One week after the #IowaDerecho and many are still in the dark. It’s been an incredible effort to reconstruct the power infrastructure. Hoping those folks get it back ASAP. https://twitter.com/iastartingline/status/1295351570859732992
