The Mississippi River's floodwaters are moving south, causing more levee failures and more severe damage.

It's in one of twelve counties declared disaster areas by Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner because of the flooding.
A weekend of heavy rain brought the Mississippi and other rivers to record levels in some places. At least 11 levees were overrun in the surge, prompting hundreds of evacuations. (Video courtesy of Jason Buskohl)
