The Global Trend Of Natural Disasters Continues

Thousands of Iowa residents have been forced to evacuate their homes due to the unprecedented rising of the Mississippi River.

The record breaking flooding has also caused devastation to the Midwest's soybean and corn crops. According to "The Independent," the production of wheat, oats, and rice has also been adversely affected.

The National Guard has been responding to the crisis in Iowa in a much more efficient manner than they did with the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe. Troops are reportedly on site, reinforcing the levees along the Mississippi River.
