Flood Crest Seen As Illinois Indiana Rivers Reach Peaks
Flooded Illinois and Indiana rivers, some at record highs, were expected to crest today. The Illinois River near Peoria surged past flood stages last seen in 1844, with levees strained and towns like East Peoria and Beardstown threatened. Many areas remained underwater as residents fled homes and rescue boats aided stranded families while Wabash River flooding continued in Indiana with levees cracked and several deaths reported.

Federal Judge Alexander Akerman described the case as psychopathic and suspended sentence pending medical exam reports.

The nation’s highway system now comprises more than 750,000 miles of improved roads.
