At Shawnee Harbor Service workers bailed out through the night, and Freda’s Restaurant crews reinforced sandbags around the building. Cristy Donaldson of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency notes uncertainty as the river crest nears amid ongoing rains. The community leans on volunteers to help neighbors cope with rising waters.
