If fixes fail, Iowa town could be left under water

The last time the Missouri River crested at levels predicted for this summer was in 1952, before most of the major dams along the river were built. And the flooding is expected to last into mid-August.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be releasing more water than it ever has from the dams by mid-June, meaning there likely will be other levee problems like the ones near Hamburg, said Kevin Grode with the corps' water management office.
