Deadly flooding leads to dam failure, bridge collapse in Midwest
Days and days of heavy rain last week in the Midwest has created some of the worst flooding the region has seen in years. Water in Minnesota ate away at the banks surrounding a dam leading to a flow around the barrier. In South Dakota, a railroad bridge collapsed. Additional rain expected Tuesday could make a bad situation worse. At least two people have died during the flooding event, according to officials.
