Airmen assigned to the 139th Airlift Wing, Missouri Air National Guard, and members of the Army Corps of Engineers, lay sandbags around a sand boil that formed on the base of a levee in Elwood, Kansas, that protects Rosecrans Memorial Airport and surrounding communities, on March 22, 2019. An increase in water levels of surrounding rivers and waterways caused by record-setting snowfall over the winter in addition to a large drop in air pressure caused widespread flooding across the midwest.
