The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers can proceed with plans to burst a Mississippi River levee and flood Missouri farmland in an effort to prevent floods in upriver towns, an appeals court said.
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster yesterday asked the U.S. Court of Appeals in St. Louis for an emergency stay after the Army Corps said it was preparing to detonate floodgates near Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to lower the flood stage on the river after a week of heavy rain.
