Flood Waters Moving South Threatens Illinois Missouri Communities
Flood peaks moved downstream on the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers as the waters remained high enough to flood several Illinois and Missouri towns and threaten major plants. Atlas Powder Co in Wolf Lake halted explosive production as floodwaters entered buildings, martial law was declared in a town 100 miles south of St. Louis, and Grand Tower faced near-total submersion. The Central Illinois Public Service Plant near Decatur faced critical danger while officials in St. Louis prepared rehabilitation plans for 3,000,000 flooded farmland across five states.
