Caption: Cairo, Ill. Mayor Tyrone Coleman talks in his office on Friday, April 27, 2012 about the record setting flood of 2011 that forced the city to be evacuated. Water from the Ohio River rose to a record level of 61.72 on the floodwall surrounding the city and only began going down after the US Army Corps of Engineers used explosives to breach the Birds Point levee in Missouri.
