Rivers Overwhelm Midwest Photos

A sign outside the Iowa Welcome Center is partially submerged in floodwater from the Mississippi River Sunday, June 15, 2008, in Burlington, Iowa. Receding water on Sunday revealed the widespread damage caused by a record flood crest, while other Iowa cities faced rivers that were still rising. Burlington is expecting a flood crest in the Mississippi River within the next couple of days.
