Flash mob in Hamburg, Iowa to save levee

Posted: Updated:

A small Iowa town devastated by last year's flooding is reaching out for help via YouTube.

You can check out the flash mob video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WvC25ALafI

As the song states, a new levee is needed to save Hamburg from another year of flooding. And the September deadline fast approaching.

The town says if everyone just donates a little - say a latte a day (that's around $3) - they can reach the $4.6 million goal. Already the YouTube video has caught the attention of some national media outlets.
