Quad Cities lowa & Illinois - Relentless rains in June
& July forced "The Mighty Mississippi River" and its
tributaries to record high water levels. The Mississippi's
predicted crest of 22.2 ft. on July 4, along with continuing
rains the following week, brought a new crest of 22.63 ft. on
July 9, breaking the previous record set in 1965.
Preliminary estimates reveal over $10 billion in damage to
homes, businesses, farms and crops in the Midwest.
