Workers use a front-end loader to carry sand bags to local businesses in Coralville, Iowa June 14, 2008. A levee holding back rising floodwaters broke and swamped Iowa's capital, Des Moines, on Saturday as officials across the U.S. Midwest reinforced levees, helped displaced residents and cleaned up the mess left by the region's worst flooding in 15 years.
