Vincennes Dike Keeps Floodwaters In Check
Flood sections across Illinois and Indiana saw rising waters with Vincennes spared by a dike break. Reports show Shawneetown gauge at 38.9 feet, 5.9 feet above flood stage, and a 51-foot crest forecast for the region. Evacuations totaled dozens in Mt. Carmel and Browns, while Red Cross and National Guardsmen aided Lawrence county. Flooded towns faced road closures, boil-water orders, and stranded communities as western embankments held. Meanwhile California frost relief and nationwide cold fronts contrasted with regional warmth absorbing a southern air mass.
