River crests approaching

Those fighting floods in several communities along the Mississippi River were mostly successful Sunday despite the onslaught of water, but an ominous forecast and the growing accumulation of snow in the upper Midwest tempered any feelings of victory. The surging Mississippi was at or near crest at several places from the Quad Cities south to near St. Louis — some reaching 10 feet above flood stage. Flooding has now been blamed in three deaths — two at the same spot in Indiana and one in Missouri. In all three  briefscases, vehicles were swept off the road in flash floods.
