Missouri town braced as Black River overflows levee
Residents of Poplar Bluff Missouri fled as the Black River breached the levee at multiple spots. Authorities warned the dike could fail risking about 7000 residents and 1000 homes evacuated earlier. Police urged door to door evacuation while rescue crews aided stranded residents. The storm system threatened further heavy rain across the Mississippi Ohio valley with 6 to 9 inches expected in parts and dozens of roads closed. Local shelters filled with evacuees as the National Guard aided operations amid ongoing flood fears.
