Mississippi flood threatens Wolf Lake and Grand Tower plants
The flood raging along the Mississippi and tributaries imperils southern Illinois and eastern Missouri communities. At Wolf Lake six inches of water cover the town, endangering the Atlas Powder plant. Grand Tower faces a damaged Illinois Central plant as sandbag defenses hold. Evacuations proceed as the Illinois River nears a 30 foot crest. The St Louis area sees a six inch drop in 24 hours while Indiana relieves pressure.
