KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Frigid Missouri River floodwaters that left ruins, death and drowned livestock across the U.S. Midwest’s farmland were expected to crest in northwestern Missouri on Friday and threaten more towns and cities.
“For the next few hours, we still expect the river to rise,” said St. Joseph police Sergeant Casey Guyer, adding that some roadways were underwater. “Hopefully, in the next 24 hours the waterline starts to recede a little.”Officials said they expect levees to contain debris-laden river water as floodwaters head toward Kansas City, Missouri, about 55 miles south of St. Joseph, then other population centers in Kansas and Missouri downstream.
Evacuation sirens rang on Thursday night in Elwood, Kansas, a community of 1,200 people across the river from St. Joseph. Early Friday, the river there was at 31.33 feet, just shy of flowing over the top of Elwood’s levee system, according to forecasters. Missouri Governor Mike Parson declared a state of emergency for his state on Wednesday as high water forced evacuations of several small farm communities.
