Flooding damage extensive in Midwest and more rain forecast-Yesenia Ramirez Monroy 

March 17, 2019 their was a flooding that surrounded Offutt Air Force Base and other areas near by. The area was flooded by 7 feet high water and their was also the  Missouri River floodwaters that poured on to the Nebraska air base which led to closing 140 roads .This has led to many issues including having to pay at least for $3 billion for damage caused on the streets and houses. The flooding has also led to other issues in the environment and economy with the agriculture by killing all of its livestock.Flooding keeps causing problems along several major rivers in the eastern Dakotas and northwestern Minnesota.The National Weather Service also said that there is a 10% chance the Red River will approach the 2009 record of 41 feet in Fargo, North Dakota.They also said to stay aware due to rain during spring time and other possible flooding.

This article was written by the Associate Press with the purpose of informing U.S. citizen's of this current issue and alert the people who live around that area as well. This flooding had already been predicted leading to only a few deaths of 3 people and 2 people missing.It's also due to the Missouri River that's near by on which people noticed increasing due to the snow in the north melting and flowing down the river and also due to the current rain.This current issue reminds me of the Dust Bowl that took place in the 1930's due to the unstable farming. This then led to a severe dust storms which destroyed vegetation and effected the U.S. economy.
