“Clearly we're in historic times here. We have - one of the tributaries of the Mississippi River is a river called the Merrimack. And the crest areas there - they're going to be a number of feet, 2, 3, 4, over what they were in '93 or '82. And on the Mississippi River itself, down below St. Louis, we're still projecting a couple of feet over that historic number. So the bottom line is there's a significant amount of water that's causing evacuations and challenges throughout that whole area.” StillsWholeWaterChallengesLinesNumbersFeetAmountCoupleAreasRiversBottomSignificantHistoricBottom LineMississippiMississippi RiverEvacuation Author:Jay Nixon
