Mighty Midwest Flood: Raging Rivers

Details the disastrous floods that occurred in nine midwestern states when ten times the average amount of rain fell during the spring and early summer of 1993.

The rain would not stop. The waters kept rising. Would the levees hold? Would the Mississippi and Missouri rivers overflow their banks? In the summer of 1993 hundreds of people were asking these questions. As nine states in the Midwest experienced floods, thousands of people lost their homes. Some lost their lives. The book describes the courage and the heartbreak of people who faced the deadly deluge.
