Heat adds to flooding misery

CNN) -- The worst flooding in almost a century forced hundreds of people from their homes in the upper Midwest, with more rain and high temperatures expected to add to their misery Thursday.

"We had a mudslide off the top of the hill, and it was like an avalanche of rock, trees and debris from the top of the hill all the way down," Lynn Partington of Brownsville, Minnesota, told CNN's "American Morning." "And it just blew the sides of the house out, and the roof dropped to the ground. Looking at the house, you'd wonder if anyone could possibly survive, but they did."

Partington said insurance would not cover the loss of his house or its contents.

Another Minnesota resident fared better, but her neighbors didn't.
