"Flooding worsened across the Midwest on Monday, with several homes being washed away in Wisconsin when water from a swollen lake spilled over a dam and soldiers helping residents sandbag as rivers rose fast in Indiana and Iowa.
In Wisconsin, water spilled over the dam at Lake Delton, taking out a road as it created a channel that washed three large homes into the Wisconsin River. Two other homes were damaged. No one was hurt as the area had been evacuated earlier.
Ten deaths had been blamed on stormy weekend weather, most in the Midwest.
In Indiana, President Bush late Sunday declared a major disaster in 29 counties after up to 10 inches of rain caused record flooding along already swollen rivers. "Flood water levels are greater in some locations than they were during the great Indiana flood of 1913," the U.S. Geological Survey reported, and "more heavy rainfall is predicted for tonight."
