The New Katrina?

My new hometown in Northwestern Illinois is right on the Mississippi River. With the amount of rain we have been getting the river has risen up and drowned almost all riverfront property. Fortunately, there is a steep incline from the river into town and no further flooding has occurred yet. The good people of Ceder Rapids, Iowa have not been so fortunate. Thank goodness no one has died since the residents had the good sense to evacuate when told to do so. I wonder though, when will the Federal government start being blamed for property damage and not stepping in sooner to stop the flooding?
