Rising waters
Tuesday, June 23, 2015
Motorists drive through rising floodwaters from the Diversion Channel on Highway 74 late Monday morning, just east of Dutchtown. The view is looking west toward the intersection of Highway 25. The river stage was 42.7 feet at Cape Girardeau. Rising floodwaters from the Diversion Channel of the Mississippi River have spilled over Highway 74 near the eastern city limits of Dutchtown. In Dutchtown, a sign alerted eastbound motorists to water over the road.
