(Undated) — Missouri and Illinois continue to deal with historic flooding. Missouri Governor Jay Nixon activated the National Guard to help with security in affected areas. Nearly 37-hundred inmates at an Illinois prison were busy yesterday preparing for possible flooding from the Mississippi River. At least 18 deaths are being blamed on flooding across both states, mostly involving drivers who got stuck in swamped roadways.
