June 25, 2008–Three pigs are stranded on a roof on June 20 after floodwaters from the Mississippi and Iowa Rivers inundated the town of Oakville, Iowa.
In the same low-lying town, a farmer was forced to leave some 800 hogs to drown as levees broke, the Chicago Tribune reported.
In recent days heavy rains and failed levees have fueled the worst Midwest flooding in 15 years, killing 24 people and claiming an unknown number of pets, livestock, and wildlife.
