More Towns Evacuate As Missouri River Flooding Continues To Rise

(KANSAS CITY, Mo.) — More towns are evacuating as the flooded Missouri River seeps over and through busted levees. The National Weather Service says the river is expected to crest Friday at levels just short of those reached during historic 1993 flooding in Atchison, Kansas, and St. Joseph, Missouri. About 1,200 residents of the Kansas town of Elwood were urged to leave, and the governor eased restrictions on large vehicles carrying relief supplies.
