Anybody know anything about the status of floodwaters in Nauvoo, Illinois or Montrose, Iowa?

Mom lived in Nauvoo and DH and I lived in Montrose which are both small towns with no local papers to get the news.

My home town is Fort Madison, Iowa and we get the news from there but haven't heard about Montrose or Nauvoo.

They said 1993 was a 500 year flood and this one is worse.

Hey Janie~ I've been through Ft Madison tons of times, as DD used to teach school in Keokuk. I know Burlington and Keokuk have flooding, but will listen to our local news later to find out about the other locations.

Our poor lil river towns are getting soaked. We rode down towards our campground in our town and it's still closed and under water. What a mess.

The news just makes me so sad to watch.

I didn't read all the posts in the last day but Quincy Illinois is finally receeding. I was worried about the veterans home there. Rockford's river has crested and flooding the area. Sheesh, that river runs right through Rockford. I live about 1 hour south of Rockford but not close enough to have flooding.
