As water levels rise across the Midwest and break records, many states are facing devastating levels of flooding.

“Torrential rain last week concentrated in two days or less, has led to major flooding in parts of the Midwest,” according to AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski in the article, Record Crests at Midwest River . “In some areas, flooding will continue well through the upcoming week.”

The National Weather Service reported a crest at 10.93 feet on the Des Plaines in Des Plains, Ill. that breaks a record from 1986. In Riverside, Ill. a record of 11.42 feet was measured breaking the 1987 record.

According to Fox News , the Mississippi River was at or near crest in several places on Sunday between the Quad Cities and St. Louis. In Illinois, stretches from Quincy to Grafton reached 10 to 12 feet above flood stages.

The flooding in the Mississippi River is a far cry from the extremely low water levels that were present much of this past fall and winter.

Making matters worse in parts of the Midwest, Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas are expecting to be hit with more snow this week. Many other towns in Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana are forecasting more rain this week.

All of the precipitation accumulation will put planting on hold for most areas in the Midwest for a while as hundreds of farmland acres are now under water.
