FILE - This June 18, 2008 aerial file photo shows a break in the Indian Grave levee caused by flood waters from the Mississippi River north of Quincy, Ill. A rate-relief law signed Friday, March 21, 2014 by President Barack Obama will soften the blow for those who were hit hardest by rate changes in the National Flood Insurance Program. An Associated Press analysis shows that half of the nearly 49,000 Illinois policies through the program are paying subsidized rates set to rise as those discounts are shaved or eliminated. The fallout appears profound in Illinois, partly because of the state's proximity to the Mississippi, Ohio and Illinois rivers and their tributaries. (AP Photo/Paul Beaty, File)
