It could get really ugly if Tuesday overperforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Us Corp of Engineers is predicting a crest of 29 on Monday while the NWS says 30 on Tuesday,,, EAST PEORIA – The Illinois River is predicted to crest at a record high very early Tuesday, April 23. The City of East Peoria is recommending residents be proactive and plan ahead in the event of an emergency. City officials say if severe flooding does occur, residents in the Richland Farms area and those along the river along Main Street and westward will need to evacuate. If this should occur, residents should have a plan for themselves and their pets, including having basic supplies ready and provisions for their animals. Voluntary evacuation, if possible, is encouraged. Officials say no one is allowed on the levee for any reason, and boaters are advised to stay off the river. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/51605231#.UXLQ9LXqnro NWS now has a forecast of 29.5' (this does not include any additional precip as of yet....it's looks like new forecasts will be out later today to include next 24 hrs of precip)....also...the river level hit 29.26' today....so somewhere between the Corp and NWS worked out....

frostfern Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Saw this on facebook tonight, it is a view from a downtown ground floor office in Grand Rapids Yes that is a fish in the flood waters right next outside the window.... I got a picture of that very same window from the opposite side of the river. They had to evacuate several of those buildings yesterday. They shut off the power, slowed down the pumping, and let the basements fill to equalize the pressure. They were worried about all the water pressure on the outside causing structural damage. Hundreds of residents had to move out of one of the towers. It's going to be a few days now before they can clean up the mess and restore the power.
