Long forgotten by the rest of the world, but regions of Iowa and Nebraska are still under water going back to late May. Yes, THREE full months of being under water because of massive water releases from the Missouri River dams.

Now that some of the water is finally receding, we are getting a glimpse at what used to be highways.

All bills for repairs and related damages for the roads and everyone's private destruction need to be sent to the fools who mismanaged the flood control system in the first place.
