Mississippi River Crests for 2nd Time
From Times wire services
The Mississippi River crested for the second time in two weeks in the upper Plains, sending residents who had hoped the worst flooding was over scurrying for sandbags.
The river reached 23.6 feet in St. Paul--9.6 feet above flood stage and the third-highest crest ever recorded in Minnesota’s capital. It also crested at La Crosse, Wis.
Flooding has caused millions of dollars in damage in parts of North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois this spring.
