Record flooding is occurring along the Kaskaskia River at Vandalia in south-central Illinois. As of 4pm CDT Friday, the river was at 27.89′, the second highest recorded depth (only behind the May-2002 record of 28.27′). It is forecast to crest around 29′ Friday evening which would be a new all-time record for this location. The river is expected to slowly fall to below flood stage by Wednesday.
As a result of the flooding, levees near the town were being overtaken with water and several low-lying areas in town were inundated with as much as 6′ of water due to many creeks feeding the Kaskaskia getting backed up due to the high levels of water.
Engineers were discussing whether to release one of the levees up stream to try and lower the river levels. A decision had not been reached as of this upload (5:15pm CDT).
