Catastrophic floods wash away homes and memories in Upper Midwest

Minute by minute, the landscape here crumbling. This Minnesota home swallowed by rushing floodwaters, so were the playground and the bench where we spoke with the owners of that house just yesterday. Now all washed away. The dramatic changes in this community visible from above. Residents gathering today to take in the destruction. And this is like a once in a lifetime thing. Adrian, that's a dramatic backdrop. And the spot I was standing in 24 hours ago also gone today. Across the Midwest, many landscapes have been forever changed and infrastructure destroyed. In South Dakota, residents forced to evacuate during this week's flood are still waiting to return to unrecognizable neighborhoods. It was insane. It sound like a war zone out there. In Sioux City, IA, neighborhoods still look like lakes still, while Mother Nature is at her worst. Communities in crisis finding the best in each other. I hope we get better and I hope people will chip in and help help this place. The watercress in some areas exceeding levels not seen in nearly three decades, even as the region braces for more heavy rain. Threatening already swollen rivers to rise again. Lester.
