COMING THIS WEEK
Editors note: The Great Flood of '94 changed the midstate and people's lives forever. Five years later, we revisit the people and places overwhelmed by the rising waters. This is the first part in an eight-day series.

• Tuesday:
Victims of
the Flood of '94 are piecing their lives back together.

lakes took a beating during the Flood of '94. Five
years later, most of those lakes are safer than ever from flood damage.
