Heavy rains from an already deadly storm system caused extensive floods in Missouri as Midwest waterways rose to levels not seen4 years, the Associated Press reported Tuesday..

About 60% of Mosby, Mo., 20 miles northeast of Kansas City, was covered by two to four feet of water, AP said.

Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt (R) declared a state of emergency and mobilized National Guard troops to help, AP reported.

More flooding was expected Tuesday, including in western Missouri, where the Platte River was forecast to reach 15-feet above flood stage, near its crest in the region’s big floods of 1993, AP said.
