Another Iowa flood photo

I’ve posted a lot lately about The Des Moines Register’s coverage of the ongoing floods in Iowa. So I’ll ping you again lightly with a photo from last Thursday:

The caption:

Brandon Smith, 23, carries his fiance’s cats — Bender, right and Fry — to safety Thursday morning in southwest Cedar Rapids. His neighbor, Tyrone Pierce, 49, follows.

Yeah: I’m a sucker for a cat photo.

    Brandon Smith made it to a cat site, http://icanhascheezburger.com/ , that captioned his photo as “tru heeros not alwayz ware costooms”. I’m glad he was there to help the kitties and that he’s truely concerned with his fiance’s probably most treasured possession.

    Also, nice reference naming the kitties after Futurama characters. :)
