Rivers across southern IL crested Thursday afternoon after upwards of 7-inches of rain helped melt snow and filled rivers across the region. With several days of rising, the rivers across the region are finally starting to fall.
The Big Muddy River in Jackson County crested Thursday afternoon at moderate flood stage (28.39 feet) and is slowly beginning to fall. On December 20, the level was just under 7 feet, so the river has risen nearly 22 feet within a six-day’s time due to the rain and melted snow. Cold temperatures have even made some of the flood waters freeze in places.
