The risk of more flooding will hound Iowa's third-largest city for at least a month as the possibility of a wet spring could see an already swollen Mississippi River pushed higher out of its banks, Davenport officials said Wednesday, a day after floodwaters broke through a temporary barrier downtown.
Floodwaters that swamped a couple of blocks of downtown Davenport on Tuesday are not expected to get worse over the coming days, public works director Nicole Gleason said Wednesday. Even with the river set to crest later Wednesday at an estimated 22.4 feet , just short of a record crest set at Davenport in 1993, it would do little to add to the floodwaters already covering the couple of blocks on the river's edge, Gleason said.
The Memorial Bridge connecting Quincy, Illinois, and West Quincy, Missouri, closed Wednesday, forcing all traffic to take the only other bridge in Quincy. Officials said Champ Clark Bridge at Louisiana could also be forced to close if the water gets too high, and several roads along the river have already closed on both sides of the Mississippi.
This is why we need BernieSanders for President
Holy.
Bummer... Hows the KKK going to march down the street now?
Wow MississippiRiver Iowa
Looks like catfish is for supper for the next 2 weeks.
So glad the 'president' is all over this. How many times did he tweet about this yesterday and say disaster support is on the way? Oh, wait, zero. None. Is Iowa even in the US except in election years?
One look tells you climate change is real.
Omg I lived in Davenport for years. The Quad Cities is where I was born. Yikes
When will people ever learn not to live in a flood zone?
Where's that bill on infrastructure..yall can start work here..

'You folks built the middle class': Joe Biden to Iowa votersJoe Biden spoke at a campaign stop in Iowa about restoring the dignity of work and to offer middle class families economic security.

We the people must demand justice b/c it’s our country, it’s our government & we’re not a banana Republic..This generation will not be the one that failed America lol. Did he mention he voted for NFTA and TPP that kills unions? Doing good Joe. Don't let the media suck you into running for the Presidency of the progressive wing of the Dem Party. Enough people in that lane.

Boyfriend recalls 'chaos' as apparently random bullet killed Iowa woman, then struck himThe boyfriend of the 25-year-old Iowa woman who was killed by an apparently random bullet while driving home over the weekend recalled how an ordinary moment turned into 'chaos.' Owning a gun is a net detriment to your safety and the safety of those around you. Justifiable homicides (the hero thing) are outnumbered by the unintentional fatalities by more than 2 to 1. The stats: … … … … … BeAHeroDontOwnAGun If only the Iowa woman had a gun to defend herself from that random bullet - right? There is no such thing as a good guy with a gun. If you have a gun in your hand you are a potential threat to everyone around you. Repeal2A
