Illinois fights to hold back flood waters near levees
Illinois guardsmen volunteers and inmates worked Sunday to sandbag and reinforce levees along the Illinois River as crews brace for a crest near 28.4 feet. In Missouri, crews paused as skies cleared after storms. The river rose about 8 inches in Scott and Morgan counties, with about 160 guardsmen and 215 inmates aiding. Local officials warn against overconfidence as the crest nears and weather improves. In Tennessee, 200 square miles flooded while federal levees held with room to spare. Lauderdale County evacuated and dozens of homes reported flooded.
