Yeah, flooding has become a problem around here too.
The Ohio river flooded it's banks yesterday and a bunch of people had to move to a higher place. I live on a hill so I have no flooding problems. The point (where our three rivers meet) was almost completely flooded. We only have small dams, two of them, and they have yet to overflow/break. Just last week, flooding on Washington Ave caused the road to open up and killed 4 people. It was so high, that it went up to 9 feet deep. I am a bit worried about the dams, but they withstood a massive flood in 2003 so hopefully everything will be okay.
