Ravaging flood waters has taken a toll on across the midwest.. The Army Corps of Engineers have said that 19 levees along the Mississippi River have failed. Over 280,000 acres of crops are either damaged or at high flood risk and about 5 million acres of crop has been destroyed across the midwest. Iowa is the hardest state hit with the others being Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Storms over the past 3 weeks have trained over the same areas causing major flooding. This has been the worst flood event in 15 years.
