There is a Genoa Illinois as well. Been to all 3, none look anything alike, and none like Genoa Italy. The midwest Genoa's are likely named for their namesake in NY as well as Italy. There are a lot of towns in Illinois that have the same names as towns in western NY- likely as groups of settlers moved west. Genneseo comes to mind as well as Genoa. There is a Waterloo, WI and IA as well as NY. Wisconsin has a Watertown, too, as well as a Lowville I believe.

Sure has been a lot of water the past few years.
The river hit the magic number of 1.25 million cubic feet per second of flow past New Orleans this past week so the started opening the spillway to relieve the pressure. This is usually a once a decade event but this is the 4th time in 3 years it has happened.
Takes a wild imagination to envision the amount of water there is and the power behind it that 1.25 million cubic feet per second entails.

I have noticed that too, a lot of places in Michigan and other Midwest states have towns named after Upstate NY towns. As people migrated west they must have wanted to remember their home town. I imagine that Pennsylvania and the New England states contributed some names too.
The Mississippi River will continue to
flood for many days. Two rivers that
drain much of the Eastern half of ND &
SD, the James & Sioux are at flood stage
and ate expected to be through April.
Both enter the Missouri below the main
stem dams on the Missouri so there is no
control of their water. It'll take a
while for the water to get to St. Louis.
The main stem resivours are nearly full &
the snow melt from the front range of the
Rockies isn't here yet, so be prepared
down there!
