Floodwaters continued to rise Friday in parts of the Midwest as rivers and streams from Texas to Pennsylvania surged past their banks, causing the evacuation of hundreds of houses.
At the same time, another weather system snowed on Illinois and Wisconsin, creating treacherous driving conditions and grounding hundreds of airplane flights.
At least 16 deaths have been connected to weather in recent days.
Some of the worst flooding on Friday occurred near St. Louis, where the Meramec River submerged houses and businesses and lapped at Interstate 44. Crews fought to keep the water at bay with concrete barricades and sandbags.
