A Covenant News Service story last week reported severe damage to many homes and businesses owned by Covenanters.
Unfortunately, the outlook going forward is not positive either, with weather experts predicting more rain this week that will raise the Mississippi River to a point where it is likely to break through protective levees at 26 or 27 different points between Davenport, Iowa, and St. Louis, Missouri, reports CNN News. Another report indicated that 83 of Iowa’s 99 counties have sustained major flood damage and are considered disaster areas. Parts of Nebraska and Wisconsin also have experienced severe flooding.
More information will be published in this online Covenant news report as it becomes available.
