KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Record flooding along the Missouri River that left death and destruction in three Midwestern states appeared to have crested on Sunday in the Kansas City area without causing major damage and continued to move downstream, local officials said.
Officials of two small, Missouri waterfront communities just outside Kansas City, Riverside and Parkville, which had been bracing for flooding, said early on Sunday that the worst appeared to be over. The municipal water service issued an advisory on Saturday warning that the flooding had impaired its treatment of water, which it gets from the river, raising health risks for infants, the elderly and others with compromised immune systems.
Floods were unleashed last week after a “bomb cyclone” storm dumped torrential rains on hundreds of square miles of the snow-covered Plains.
