Description: Heavy rains in the Midwest caused a 245-acre lake in the town of Lake Delton, Wis., to overflow June 9, 2008, destroying several homes as it breached a local highway, and completely drained into the nearby Wisconsin River. Serious flooding throughout the State of WI prompted the governor to declare a state of emergency, allowing Wisconsin's Adjutant General U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Don Dunbar to activate National Guard troops to assist in the relief effort. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Paul Gorman/Released)
