Historic flooding in American midwest threatening lives, destroying livelihoods

The flooded facility of the Camp Ashland Army National Guard in Ashland, Neb., is seen in this aerial photo March 17, 2019. Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts and the state's National Guard surveyed flooded farms, homes, bridges and highways, damage Ricketts called "devastating" and perhaps the worst in a half-century. At least three people have been reported killed.
WASHINGTON – The chairman of the U.S. bishops' domestic policy committee late March 19 expressed grief over the lives and livelihoods lost and threatened by the historic flooding in the Midwest and offered prayers for recovery.
