Mood Grim As Midwest Fears Disaster
Mood grim as flood fears sweep the Midwest with Kansas City and St Louis watching swollen rivers. In Prairie du Rocher 40 volunteers battled 97 degree heat to build a sandbag levee while 27 000 farm acres could flood if levees fail. New Canton reinforced levees after a breach flooding 44 000 acres and 2000 homes. Authorities named volunteers for rescue if tragedy strikes as forecasters anticipate drier weather but river crests remain dangerous and recovery costs rise.
