And - ahem - the Midwest is experiencing devastating floods, bridges out, highways covered in water, and it’s going to get much worse.

Traveling through the Midwest is not such a great idea right now.

. As far as the flooded midwest, no, it is not for the tourist. But it would be a good stopover for a candidate, go fill a few sandbags on the banks of the Missouri, unless you really needed to be somewhere else. The matter of the fishing season sounds like the most valid observation. I haven't heard that they sold their boat yet.
