| When the Levee Breaks |
 |
I found hundreds of pictures online that I
streamed in sequence to Led Zeppelin's "When
the Levee Breaks". The song is
extraordinarily appropriate to the
catastrophe that was and continues to be New
Orleans.

ProblemsLevee Breaks Add to Midwest Flood
ProblemsThe Associated PressPeople continue
to battle high water in Indiana, Illinois,
Indiana and Iowa. (June 10)[Notes:ANCHOR
VOICE] (VIDEO OF BROKEN LEVY FROM AIR
BOAT)Ad another state to the list of those
deluged with high water. Two levee breaks
have caused water to pour across 50 square
miles of an Illinois county which borders
already hard-hit Indiana.The Embarrass River
exploded through right here spilling millions
of gallons of water.(VIDEO OF SWAMPED CAMPERS
AND STRANDED JIM MCCLASKEY)But the Lawrence
Rod and Gun Club was in the flood path.RV's
are swamped and Jim McClasky is stranded on
someone else's property.JIM
MCCKLASKEY/STRANDED IN LAWRENCEVILLE"WE COME
IN THE BACK ROAD. IT WASN'T BAD WHEN WE COME
THROUGH. WE FOOLED AROUND ABOUT AN HOUR OR
SO OVER THERE. WHEN WE TRIED TO LEAVE. WE
TURNED AROUND IT GOT TOO DEEP."MARK
CARLSON/STANDUPThis is normally farmland as
far as the eye can see.When the Embarrass
River levy broke, the landscaped turned into
a lake. [Notes:map pull out effect?]In
addition to Illinois, severe flooding extends
across several midwest states: Indiana,
Iowa, and Wisconsin. [Notes:wisc] The village
of Gays Mills, Wisconsin was inundated during
the weekend, just 10 months after another
devastating flood left residents working to
rebuild homes and businesses. The swollen
Kickapoo River engulfed nearly the entire
town. Almost a quarter of the 625 residents
have evacuated. Officials say the very
survival of the town is at stake.(SOT: LARRY
MCCARN/GAYS MILLS VILLAGE PRESIDENT) I'M
REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT IT, YES. I AM NOT
SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL STAY OR EVEN COME
BACK OR EVEN THE BUSINESSES, WHAT'LL HAPPEN
TO THEM.Wisconsin's governor will ask for a
federal disaster declaration later this week.
About 70 miles north, in Lake Delton,
families are surveying the damage left behind
after Lake Delton overflowed, then emptied.
It swept away several homes in the process.
(sot: TIM FROMM/lost home)15:21:01 JUST NOT
SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT BECAUSE IF YOU
LOOK OVER WE DON'T EVEN HAVE LAND ANYMORE.
[Notes:pool]In Elnora, Indiana, the breadth
of the problem can been seen from the air.
The White River has overrun it's
banks--reaching 16 feet above flood stage in
some places. The state got two inches of
rain Monday, on top of the 11 inches received
in places over the weekend [Notes:woi]
Iowans continue to sandbag to try to hold
back the water. The governor has declared
emergencies in 31 counties. The downpours
that led to all this flooding are also
impacting crops. Flooded corn fields have
made it difficult for farmers to plant,
pushing corn prices to record highs on
commodities exchanges. ___ ___, The

Track 11: When the levee breaks
________________________________________
If it keeps on raining,
levee's going to break,
If it keeps on raining,
levee's going to break,
And the water gonna come in,
have no place to stay
Well all last night I
sat on the levee and moan,
Well all last night I
sat on the levee and moan,
Thinking about my baby and my happy home,
If it keeps on raining,
levee's going to break,
If it keeps on raining,
levee's going to break,
And all these people
have no place to stay
Now look here mama what am I to do?,
Now look here mama what am I to do?,
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to
I works on the levee
mama both night and day,
I works on the levee
mama both night and day,
I ain't got nobody,
keep the water away
Oh crying won't help you,
praying won't do no good,
Oh crying won't help you,
praying won't do no good,
When the levee breaks, mama,
you got to lose
I works on the levee,
mama both night and day,
I works on the levee,
mama both night and day,
I works so hard, to keep the water away
I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me,
I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me,
I'm going back to my used to be
It's a mean old levee,
cause me to weep and moan
It's a mean old levee,
cause me to weep and moan
Gonna leave my baby,
and my happy home
