Flooding in the St. Louis area is expected to be the worst since 1993, but improvements since then could mitigate some of the damage

“It is soaked, and more rain is on the way,” said Mark Fuchs, senior service hydrologist with the National Weather Service in St. Louis. “We’re hoping that the crests we’re seeing right now is all that we will have to deal with.”
