This gives me the willies. My town was inundated back in August:

We're still tearing down houses. My office ahd two feet of water inside for four days.

No fun.

When the levee breaks
Momma, you got to go!

[Gator113]

Oh no...Global Wetting!!!!

We need to dry up the world, Right Now!!

[Liberty Valance]

Governor Jim Doyle's (D) fault. ;o)

[McGruff]

I thought N.O. was the only place with levees. I thought the rest of the country built dams.

Just talked to my sister in Waverly IA, in the NE part of the state. It's absolutely sh** nasty up there, most bridges are closed, levees and dams breaking, downtowns evacuated, structures with water past the second floor. My sister is one of the lucky ones, they've evacuated but think the water won't go past the basement.

Here's the DM Red Star's live blog if you want to follow:

I did not realize it was Lake Delton which was emptied by the levee breaks of the Wisconsin River. It’s a shame, as that man-made lake is a treasure for tourists to the Wisconsin Dells. It’s where the nightly water show takes place. This will have a major economic impact on Wisconsin.

I feel so bad for all those poor people. On the news I heard several of them say that they didn’t have flood insurance because they didn’t live in a flood plain. The man whose house we see over and over again on the news breaking in two and falling into the lake, said that his insurance agent told him he didn’t need it.

Gonna contribute to higher food prices.

Prayers for those in harms way.

Here’s a slide show of the damage. It’s still incomprehensible to many of us.
