Prayers going out for you.
Yes, the Mississippi is rising fast down by me.
It has went up 10.0 ft since about 7am on Sunday. (it is about 27.0 ft right now) - Normal stage is 17.0 ft / 27.0 ft is flood stage here, so we have reached action stage now.
We are expecting a rise up to 42.3 ft by Thursday afternoon (15.3 ft above flood stage) - but our community can easily handle a river stage of 42.3 ft here without much damage or concern.
In 1993 we hit 49.6 ft which as you know was the Great Flood of 93.
I’ve been reading your reports and updates from the midwest. Thank you.
