Recent heavy rains have caused widespread flooding across several states in the United States. Many dams are at dangerous levels due to overflow from heavy rains, leading to the collapse of bridges and damage to settlements.

Approximately 3.5 million people in Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Minnesota are affected by these floods.

The floods have destroyed homes, submerged agricultural lands, and even caused the collapse of a railway bridge.

In southern Minnesota, the Rapidan Dam failed, causing water to inundate nearby settlements. Authorities are evacuating affected residents to safer areas, as meteorologists predict continued rainfall for the next few days.
