Missouri Flood Threatens Central Region In Midwestern Rise
The Missouri River stayed above flood stage from Rule Nebraska to Jefferson City Missouri with the greatest threat center in central Missouri. National Guardsmen and volunteers worked through the night on a levee near Boonville protecting thousands of acres of farmland and several homes north of the town. Authorities say no towns are threatened at this time. Sandbagging began after water flowed over a levee near Fayette. In Carroll County about 150 farm families were driven from their homes. Levees near Norborne breached again two weeks after a prior break. Crests were forecast nine feet above flood stage at Boonville Tuesday and six to eight and a half feet at other cities into Wednesday. Roads were closed across central Missouri and temporary flooding occurred in Jefferson City. In Kansas City, the confluence rivers began receding but backwaters flooded hundreds of homes near Sugar Lake and Bean Lake. Weather officials promised a respite with sunny skies and mild temps in the next days. Clay County damage estimated above one million dollars to public property and residences, with similar agricultural losses, as the region braces for continued recovery.
