Muskrat Love

A 5lb muskrat has undone all of the work put into a Winfield, MO levee. It's funny, from way up here in the sunny (snicker) Northwest, until you read this quote:

"How bad do I feel? You have no idea," said Travis Tutka, the Army Corps of Engineers' dam safety expert who helped coordinate the effort to save the levee. "The challenge we met for so long out here — I can't come up with the words for the feeling. The levee did as well as it did because of the resolve of the people who worked on it."

Dam on, engineers.
