Authorities have rescued several people left stranded
after flooding in northwest Missouri.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a tweet that water patrol troopers
worked into the night Wednesday in and around Craig, pulling four people from
homes and three from a boat that ran out of fuel. The town of 220 began flooding
after a levee breach. An ethanol plant there also was forced to shut down.
The Missouri River continues to wreak havoc as high water levels make their way
downstream. The river initially was expected to crest Thursday in St. Joseph,
but new forecasts call for it to crest at a slightly higher level Friday of
about 12.1 feet (3.69 meters) above flood stage, the third-highest level on record.
