Oakville, Iowa, June 18, 2008—Home to this submerged barn, the tiny town of Oakville located on an elbow of the Iowa River, was evacuated on June 14 after its levee failed.

Massive flooding along the Mississippi River has killed at least 24 people, mostly in Iowa, and driven some 35,000 people from their homes, according to the Associated Press. Federal officials predict dozens more levees could fail in the coming days as floodwaters make their way downstream.
