Gotcha. I'm not even sure his garage is used for his cars anymore. The
road is one of the main routes into Iowa City, now four-laned whereas it
was two when the garage was built. The road was flooded in 1993 and 2008,
which is a major nuisance, so there is a plan currently to raise the road,
which would mean the end of those garage doors. There was a twister that
came through those woods and damaged some trees (mainly that needed to come
down in some cases -- that's how nature works) around 1997, and we had a
tornado run through the city in 2006, but we are so low being right on the
river that I think the worst stuff just goes over the top of us.
