Flooding - Atchison County, Mo. , June 22, 2011 -- Sand boils are features that occur during flooding situations. A difference in pressure between the water side of a levee and 'dry' side may cause a pipe to occur bringing water and debris through the levee. They may appear to look like a miniature volcano and can weaken the levee. Jace Anderson/FEMA
