Watching the river levels this morning

Are you in for a repeat of historic flooding on Mid-Missouri’s streams and rivers? Cole County Public Works Larry Benz says they’re watching the flooding potential …

Benz’s department’s biggest challenge is dealing with smaller rivers like the Moreau that flood in a hurry when it rains.

The Missouri River should crest just over 28 and a half – feet today.

That’s less than two feet below the levee top.
