Valley, Neb. - As icy, lethal flood waters fed by rains and melting snow recede in Nebraska and Iowa, leaving destroyed homes, drowned cattle and swamped farmland, Midwest states downstream were set on Thursday for a relentless surge of the Missouri River.
“The river will have several more major crests through next week,” he said, not counting the numerous tributaries that feed into the Missouri up and down the Midwest and will likely inundate communities into next month. The Missouri River’s next major flood crest is forecast to hit St. Joseph, Missouri, at 6 a.m. on Friday and a day later in Kansas City, Missouri, 55 miles to the south, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Ricketts estimated the floods caused at least $439 million in damage to public infrastructure and other assets, and $85 million to privately owned assets. He put flood damage for the state’s agricultural sector at nearly $1 billion.
