Record Flooding Grips Midwest, Killing 3 and Displacing 10,000s
---------------------------------------------------------------

In the Midwest, residents and farmers are grappling with record flooding
as torrential rains in recent weeks have led to overflowing of the
Arkansas, Mississippi and Missouri rivers. According to NASA Earth
Observatory data, the past year has been the country's wettest since
modern record keeping began. At least three people have been killed, and
tens of thousands have been displaced.
