From the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS):
One thing we'll leave you with as we wind down our response to the flooding is that floods are regular occurrences. In 2011, we responded to similarly large floods throughout the entire Mississippi River Basin. And when the next one comes, we'll be there too.
