Midwest Floods Cause 100 Million In Damage

The spring floods in the Midwest caused 100 million dollars in damage, killed eight people, and displaced 25,000 residents. Authorities credit advance planning and forecasting for preventing greater losses, with preliminary estimates showing 250 million in damage avoided. The Army Corps of Engineers deployed 10 million sandbags, 200 miles of dikes, and 400 emergency contracts, while 1,000 engineers and 2,100 guardsmen fought floods alongside locals. Over five million bushels of grain were moved from flood zones under Interstate Commerce Commission supervision. The Red Grass spent 1 million on meals for 5,000 volunteers. A long-range Midwest river basin plan is urged, as dikes built in haste are deemed insufficient.
