Clayton County Residents Waiting For Mississippi To Crest

As the Mississippi River rises, officials say they’re done with most of the preparation work. Now, they’re waiting for the river to crest. Flooding is impacting communities in northeast Iowa, with some people having to evacuate their homes. In Clayton County, emergency management said once the river crests and waters start to recede, they can move onto the next phase, which will likely include weeks of cleanup and recovery. In McGregor, the Mississippi River is expected to crest sometime Friday or Saturday.
