I remember flying out to Colorado in 1993 and looking down at the Mississippi river area. Areas on both sides of the river were under water. Horrible experience even for those use to it. I grew up near the water, and everytime we got a strong Nor'easter, a quarter of the town was under water. Used to make money rowing people from one bar to another.

I truly feel sorry for those folks in the midwest. Seems between the tornado's and the flooding they don't get much of a break.
