Midwest Flooding

From the Daily Mail:

At least three people have died in flooding that is causing havoc across the Midwest.

In all three deaths - two at the same spot in Indiana and one in Missouri - vehicles were swept off the road in flash floods.

The flooding was started by torrential rain last week which caused the Mississippi and many other rivers to surge in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana.

And the misery is not over as forecasters say more rain is expected tonight and tomorrow in many places.
Flood waters claimed the life of an Indiana man and Missouri woman after their vehicles were submerged as the Midwest braces for potentially record-level flooding and torrential downpour.

Robert Morgan, 64, of Arcadia, Indiana, died Friday attempting to drive his car through the rising water.
He was carried 100 yards downstream in Hamilton County, according to a statement from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.

Police responded to a 911 call from a motorist who said his vehicle was sinking in the same spot where Morgan's car was submerged.

Upon arrival, rescuers found an unoccupied truck 200 feet from the roadway. The phone that called 911 belonged to an Arcadia resident, but the owner had not been found, police said.
