Missouri River reaches Hamburg, Iowa backup levee

By Michael Avok | Reuters – Thu, Jun 16, 2011

HAMBURG, Iowa (Reuters) - Missouri River floodwaters have reached a levee built up this week to protect Hamburg, Iowa, after the main protection along the river failed, a county emergency official said on Thursday.
Water spread rapidly the past two days from a full breach of a Missouri River levee about five miles from Hamburg on Monday and reached a secondary levee by late Wednesday where workers have raced to add height using temporary barriers.
"The water has now officially reached the secondary levee, it is about 5 feet up on it in some places ... and we haven't even got the heaviest of it to us yet," Fremont Emergency Management Director Mike Crecelius said.
