Floodwaters engulf Lower City Park on Tuesday, June 10, 2008.

This month marks 10 years since floodwaters submerged the University of Iowa campus, damaging over 20 buildings, three of which were beyond repair. Though much of the community did not go through the natural disaster that caused $700 million in damage to the UI, those who were here remember it well.
