It is a beautiful Sunday morning in central Illinois weather wise. The Illinois River is at flood stage along the river front in Peoria and various other locations in this area including here. We have more rain forecast this week so that sounds iffy.
River Front Peoria Illinois 21 April, 2013 Flooding Update…
A concrete barrier is being constructed along Water Street from the 401 Water parking deck to Liberty Street in anticipation of record flooding. The barrier will be sandbagged to try to prevent water from crossing Water Street. Water Street is currently closed from Eaton to the 401 parking deck and will remain closed for several days.
