Area Rivers Once Again Cresting

What a wild week of weather we had from the heat and humidity, to flash flooding, to tornadoes!  With all the heavy rain we saw, rivers have once again been on the rise.

The Mighty Mississippi has moved the location of "Red White and Boom" this year.  The Mississippi here in the Quad Cities is expected to crest some time on Sunday at 18.10 feet, which is major flooding.
The Wapsipinicon River near DeWitt is also experiencing major flooding with a crest Sunday at 13.4 feet.
Finally, the Rock River in Moline (and Joslin) will be experiencing moderate flooding with a crest of 13.2 feet on Monday in Moline, and 14.8 feet in Joslin on Sunday.

The Mississippi at Clinton and Burlington are also experiencing flooding, as well as several other rivers surrounding the area.  For more on that, click HERE.

We'll take a look back at June in Sunday's blog!
