Flooding in the Midwest

The Midwest has been experiencing major flooding this summer that have caused roads, railroad tracks and bridges to close. The picture above taken June 21, 2011, is a flooded road closure in Corning, Missouri, with heavy flooding from the Missouri River. 300 residents were told to evacuate because of two breaches in Missouri River levees. The flooding in Omaha Nebraska has caused volunteers to place 200,000 sandbags  to protect public property from flooding. Further north in Minot, ND, 11,000 people have been told to evacuate or a quarter of the cities residents.
