Western Iowans Bracing For More Flooding

(Council Bluffs, IA)  --  People in western Iowa are bracing for more flooding with the Missouri River on the rise.  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is slowing water release at a dam upstream in hopes it will prevent some of the worst flooding from Sioux City to Council Bluffs.  The river's expected to rise about five feet and crest at over 30 feet early this weekend.  Flood warnings are in effect all along Iowa's western border.
