This springs flood is intentional, not the usual floods of nature. In the Chicago area there are many expensive mansions built on Lake Michigan's natural high water area. To prevent these areas from flooding and allow the rich more expansive beaches, they open the dams and send the water down the Illinois River. Areas where house and mobile homes are under water are close now. And, I would not infringe on anyone's tradegy to go there and photograph their misery. The lakes in the area are at normal spring stage as opposed to when the flood is natural.
