The last few weeks have seen torrential rain and flooding across Minnesota. So much water in such a short time inundated rivers and ditches, washed out roads, seeped into basements and overwhelmed sewer systems.
Flooding is nothing new in Minnesota. But heavy rains are increasing with climate change. So are violent storms that bring hail and high winds.
MPR News host Angela Davis talked with leaders in state government about how the increase in extreme weather is affecting Minnesotans — from moldy basements to increased insurance rates. Davis and her guests also talked about what individuals can do to protect their homes and what communities can do to reduce future damage.
