Floods threaten more states in deluged U.S. Midwest
VALLEY, Neb. - As icy floodwaters fed by rains and melting snow receded in Nebraska and Iowa, leaving destroyed homes, drowned cattle and swamped farmland, Midwestern states downstream on Thursday braced for a relentless surge along the Missouri River, with more rain expected.
“This is shaping up to be a potentially unprecedented flood season, with more than 200 million people at risk,” Ed Clark, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Water Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, said on Thursday in the agency’s spring outlook. The Missouri River’s next major flood crest is forecast to hit St. Joseph, Missouri, at 6 a.m. CDT on Friday and a day later in Kansas City, Missouri, 55 miles to the south, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
He said numerous levee breaches upstream have eased the flood threat to communities downstream, he said, because there ends up being less water flowing through the river channel.
