Flooding in the Midwest Has Impacted a Number of States

Earlier this year, the state of Arkansas seemed to have a bulls-eye

painted on it for every destructive weather event. But now, brutal

storms have struck repeatedly at the upper Midwest, hammering the

states of Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin as well as portions of

Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri and Michigan.

Over the weekend, tornadoes and monsoon-like thunderstorms dumped up

to 11 inches of rain in some areas in as little as 10 hours, quickly

moving people from a sense of security to, in some cases, a fight

for survival. Wednesday night, heavy rains and tornadoes struck

again in Iowa, with St. Louis residence bracing for heavy flooding

along the Mississippi today and drenching thunderstorms expected,

bringing more severe weather and dumping additional rain on already

saturated and flooded regions.
