storm damage

I've been trying to follow the news about the flooding as much as I can but there just doesn't seem to be much of it.

To me, this seems like such a huge deal and seems to be affecting such a huge chunk of the country that I'm a little shocked by the lack of attention being paid to it over here on the left coast.

Every time I read something about the levees and spillways and opening and closing of things and intentionally flooding areas and blowing shit up, all in the name of saving the cities, I can't help but wonder if this is just the big river's method of payback for trying to make it do something it didn't want to do in the first place.

ETA - Oh, and I started this whole post to say that I hope those of you in the affected areas are safe.
