This relates to me in the way that I have seen flooding in Georgia and I can sort of relate with the people around the Mississippi River. They have lost their homes to a flood that is continuing to rise in water level. The Coast Guard is working hard to help people that have been caught in the flood and many people are staying in flood shelters. I hope that the water will recede and that people's lives will be able to go back to normal.

This relates to something I read about the a record flood that the Mississippi River had and with the flood now almost breaking that record. The river is a few feet from matching the record of the previous flood. If the river continues to flood then more people's homes and businesses will be flooded. I hope that everyone around the Mississippi River will be able to take back their lives after the flood.

This relates to the rest of the world in the way that if we are able to handle the flood without losing a single person then we will be seen in a better way by other countries. They will see that we have the capability to protect our people from natural disasters. This will also allow us to be better prepared for other natural disasters that may occur. This will cause the US to be more prepared in the future.
