AccuWeather has posted their three favorite photos of the Midwest Flooding. The Number One photo is a submerged farm in LaGrange, Missouri, a whopping 314 feet above sea level. So much for the theory that New Orleans was doomed because parts of the city were below sea level.

What happened to the Midwest is the same thing that happened to New Orleans. It was a failure of US Army Corps of Engineers, the largest civil engineering entity in the world to properly predict flooding and to properly build structures to alleviate it.
