VALLEY, Neb. - Small Missouri towns on Wednesday prepared for the next wave of flooding along the snow melt-swollen Missouri River after high waters wreaked an estimated $1 billion in damage in Nebraska, and officials warned the deadly disaster was far from over.
Missouri officials stacked sandbags along major waterways and closed highways near the rising river, and Governor Mike Parson urged residents to be careful near the waterway. “We’re in for the long haul. We’re just getting started,” the Des Moines Register quoted her as saying. Reynolds added that she had seen unprecedented flooding in a tour of western Iowa this week had revealed unprecedented flooding. “It looked like an ocean.”‘DEVASTATION IS EVERYWHERE’
In Arkansas, emergency officials said they were monitoring the situation but did not believe flooding would reach crisis levels. “I was on the phone with my son-in-law, who was driving out to help, telling him, ‘Stop! Stop! Turn around!’”
