Overall, it keeps getting worse than predicted. The worst thing is this caught people completely off guard. It's bound to freeze long before the waters fully subside and we can only hope that it won't unleash flooding again if it melts too quickly. There's no telling how long this will last.

400 roads closed now. It's quite a switch to be "water locked" in these parts.

The death toll from flooding in Missouri rose to 14 Wednesday, and at least two rivers rose higher than during devastating floods in 1993, officials said, but the region was bracing for more flooding.
