Reports on state tv say zens more are e urt across the area. Well continue to update you on this story throughout the morning. Extreme weather is moving across the south this morning. A powerful storm system combined with whats left of Hurricane Patricia brought dangerous downpours and flash floods. Abcs bazi kanani shows us the soggy mess. The lone star state. Drenched. Up to 20 inches of rain falling over parts of xas. We got the boat over there. Emergency crews going in with boats and humvees to reach stranded residents. A close call for the more than 70 rescued south of dallas. This mannd his dog pulled from their flooded truck. Another man. Tuck when he i just stood there and watched my vehicle slowly disappear. When flood waters derailed this freight train. The two people on board swam to safety. But a cow n neded some help getting back on solid ground. In san antonio, rescuers managed to reach a man who was swept more than a mile through a storm drain. You can just imagine crashing against the wall in therr, story. It was a wild ride for him. The storms swept in with damaging winds two reported tornados. I looked out the window and all i saw was a whirlwind of trash roofs ripped off. Fences toppled. Along the coast galvton, flags wwn of the dangerous surf. Waves up to 10 feet high forced an empty tanker to run aground. More flooding in nearby louisiana. Where Power Outages forced many businesses to close. Others. Getting by on candlelight. A university of iowa Political Science professor says Vice President joe bidens decision not to run for president could have a ripple fect on the race. Professor tim hagle says bidens supporters are more likely to back former secretary of state hillary clinton, who is leading the polls on the democratic side. They may be unsure for a while andhey may wait, but ultimately, theyll probably come arood to hillary ccinton. Its unlikely at anybody eese would have the ability to jump in late at this point, and if those folks havent gone to Bernie Sanders by now, they probably arent ever going to. The Vice President ended months speculation last week with the announcement. He said time had run out to launch a successful campaign. Well hear ore from Vice President biden later this half hour. Dying is a big busines. From the casketststo funeral care, there are lots of elements to think about. For todays made in eastern iowa, tv9s Ashley Hinson takes us inside a cedar rapids business thats helping to literally lifif people up p fter theyvee passedd theyre in the business of bodies. My father is a funeral director, and i started out as a neral director. Katie hill was eorking in the industry of dignified deth. Trying to figure out how to best prepare bodies for funerals. I couldnt lift bodies. I couldnt get bodies in caskets. I couldnt get them dressed. I needed assistance. And while shes dealing`with e dead, mortuary lift was born. The eompany uses th same concept as a boat lift but applies it to bodymoving. All f fom its space in the cedar rapids ccrry building. You add the motor, the transmission, the gears. Wire up the electrical and then we ship them off in a crate. Mortuary lift makes the machines that help Funeral Directors prepare people for burial. Its a dignified way of moving andtransporting remains. But t t also takes the strain out of lifting weight at work. Back injury is the number one injury in the industry. Buying a machine like this will allow them to keep their employees from being injured, and also reduce the number of employees because one person can do the job of several. I got a chance to lie in their machine. It was smooth and didnt put any strain on my live body. And while their maii focus is on those ww have passed. Theres also a future for those who are still living. Were trying to get established with the fda for live patient lifting and radiology departments and in the emergency room, were you need somebody horizontal. The demand is there all over the world. Weve got t really good distributoo in australiaawe ship to naples taly, guam, argentina, london, japan, puerto rico. Helping provide re always lookkng for businesses to feature and events that support entrepreneurs. If you know of something you think we should feature on made in eastern iowa, email ashley at ashley dot hinson at kcrg dot com.
